The mission of New York Invasive Species Awareness Week (#NYISAW) is to promote knowledge and understanding of invasive species and the harm they can cause by engaging community members in a wide range of activities across the state, empowering them to take action to help stop the spread. Free statewide webinars are being hosted by PRISMs across New York State every day during ISAW. All webinars start at 1 p.m. EST and will be hosted live again at 7 p.m. EST. Below are special events happening during NYISAW that are being led by either Trail Conference staff or Lower Hudson PRISM partners.
