Beech leaf disease and Spotted lanternfly are two invasive species spreading rapidly across the eastern US coast and can have severe impacts on forest ecosystems, recreation, and agriculture as their populations expand. Join CRISP Terrestrial Invasive Species Manager Dan Snider-Nerp to learn how to survey and identify both forest pests, and how to report them to the state invasive species database iMapInvasives. The more data on these species in iMapInvasives, the more effective the treatment response can be, and the less impact these pests will have in our region.

Join Hannah Coppola in a New York Invasive Species Awareness Week presentation, featuring the management of aquatic invasive species (AIS). Lake associations, waterfront property owners, and interested members of the public are encouraged to register to learn how to maintain a healthy lake ecosystem, and prevent AIS from encroaching on recreational lake activities. Presentation topics include: Prioritizing management locations on your waterbody, CR-PRISM list and identification of high threat aquatic invasive species, management options and example cost breakdowns, and an opportunity for collaboration!

The Spotted Lanternfly became established in parts of NYC in 2020 and has popped up in upstate locations over the last couple of years. This colorful invasive insect can become a nuisance in landscapes and is a threat to vineyards right here in the Finger Lakes. We can all do our part because early detections of this pest are critical in its management. In this session we’ll show images of this insect so it can be recognized in its different life stages which range from tan egg masses, to tiny crawling black nymphs to the adult with polka dotted outer wings and bright-orange underwings. By the end of the program, you will know it’s favorite host plants, how to easily report sightings and we’ll discuss management options.

Join the Long Island Invasive Species Management Area (LIISMA) to dive into the identification of native and invasive plants and animals that you may encounter at your local waterbodies. On this interactive virtual lake survey, you will learn what goes into an aquatic survey and how you can do your part to prevent and report invasive species. This is a beginner-friendly webinar great for kids, families, and all ages!

We are actively looking for volunteers to join the FL PRISM Trail Survey for 2023! Similar to our Macrophyte Survey, you can join the effort to fight our terrestrial invasive species by becoming a “Trail Master”. This hour long training will teach you how to identify common invasive plant species. As a Trail Master, you will then go out and survey a trail of your choosing for these species once a month. Help us find invasive species before they get out of control, be more active this summer, and help your environment.

Interested in learning about harmful algal blooms (HABs) and their intersection with invasive species issues? Join us on June 10th at 1pm (ET) for this 2022 New York Invasive Species Awareness Week webinar to hear from leading professionals about the latest science and management efforts. The agenda will include:
– General overview of HABs and broad connections with invasive species
– Direct connections between dresseinid mussels and HABs
– Invasive plant management and HABs
– Q&A + discussion

Join Thom Allgaier from NYS Department of Agriculture & Markets for one of our NYISAW statewide webinar series.
This webinar will illustrate some of the pathways invasive species exploit to become established and some of the intervention methods that are used to thwart introduction. Means of detecting, reporting, and monitoring invasive species will also be discussed. Join us for this deeper dive into how invasive species are spread and what is done to intervene before and after detection.

This New York Invasive Species Awareness Week, join Catskill Region Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP) staff the evening of Wednesday June 8th, from 7-8 pm, to learn about aquatic invasive species (AIS)! We’ll cover common and emerging invasive plants and animals, how they might spread around and between waterbodies, and simple steps you can take to identify them and prevent their spread.

During the 2022 New York Invasive Species Awareness Week, we are launching the first ever NYISAW Mapping Challenge! We challenge you to get out and map this week’s statewide priority species, spotted lanternfly, and the priority species for your PRISM (Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management). The top reporters to iMapInvasives during NYISAW will win a prize!
Join our 7pm webinar to learn more about the challenge, how your records feed into statewide efforts, and how to identify spotted lanternfly, and the species selected by your PRISM! Presenters will include invasive species experts from the PRISMs.
