Stop the Spread: Help us "Bust" Invasive Plants
- Tuesday, July 5, 2016, 7:00 PM - 9:00 PM
We're recruiting for volunteers for the Blockbuster Citizen-Science Program. Help CCE Ulster County and the NYS DEC to survey for the presence of invasive plants in the Hudson Valley this summer.
A recruitment event will be held on Tuesday, July 5th from 7:00pm - 9:00pm
In early July, training for the survey will begin, with several dates and locations offered. After the training you will pick a 5-km x 5-km block in your area and survey it for invasive plants. You will select the species that you feel comfortable identifying, so you do not have to be a plant expert to participate.
As a Blockbuster Volunteer you will be part of a region-wide team of volunteers who will help us find and identify key invasive species and find areas that are free of invaders. Data collected will help scientists and natural resource managers direct their efforts most effectively. This program is part of the Lower Hudson Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management’s (PRISM) efforts to stop the spread of invasive species in the lower Hudson Valley.
