Working together, the SLELO PRISM partners have brought many successes in our efforts to protect our lands and waters from the threat of invasive species. The following are a few highlights of strategic accomplishments from our 2021 Annual Report.
- Began invasive species suppression and ecological restoration efforts on riparian corridors of Sandy, South Sandy and Deer Creek designed to cool streamside water temperatures and increase resilience to climate changes.
- Intercepted aquatic invasive species on 436 occasions preventing their spread to and from other North American waterbodies.
- Prepared a first-ever Eastern Lake Ontario Barrier Dunes Invasive Species and Ecological Restoration Management Plan.
- Successfully launched a Pledge-To-Protect Marketing and Communications Initiative.
- Liberated approved biological controls for the suppression of swallow-wort and emerald ash borer and augmented biodiversity by suppressing 7 invasive species on multiple Priority Conservation Areas.
- Supported an Urban Forest Sustainability effort promoting native street trees in the communities of Watertown, Massena, Canton, and Pulaski.
