New York Invasive Species Awareness Week (NYISAW) will be observed June 9th through the 15th this year. It is an annual event hosted by the NYS DEC, the PRISM network, state agencies, and other collaborators across the state. 

We highly encourage our partners to participate in NYISAW by hosting or collaborating on events held within our region. Events can be anything that helps to raise awareness of invasive species and encourages the public to get involved. If you’re interested in hosting an event or collaborating with us on one please fill out this form.  Visit the official NYISAW website for more information.
