Stop the Spread: Help us “Bust” Invasive Plants

Stop the Spread: Help us “Bust” Invasive Plants.
Blockbuster survey citizen-science training

Help us survey for the presence of invasive plants in the Hudson Valley. We’ll show you how!

Adopt a block and help us “bust” a move on invasive plants. Using your smart phone or a GPS unit you’ll be part of a region wide team of volunteers who will help us identify key invasive species and pristine areas free of invaders. Data collected will help scientist and natural resource managers direct their efforts most effectively. This program in part of the Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management’s efforts to stop the spread of invasive species in the lower Hudson valley. 

When: Trainings will begin in early July.

Where to train and register: Call your local extension office for more details on the trainings and how to register.
