New York State is celebrating its first Invasive Species Awareness Week July 6-12, 2014!
Invasive species affect all New Yorkers – from hikers to highway personnel, from birders to boaters and from farmers to foresters. The mission of the New York Invasive Species Awareness Week (ISAW) is to promote knowledge and understanding of invasive species to help stop their spread by engaging citizens in a wide range of activities across the state and encouraging them to take action.
To celebrate the very first awareness week, Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISMs) across the state are hosting fun volunteer events targeting invasive species. These include awareness-raising nature walks, a garlic-mustard pesto making event, and a vigorous mile-a-minute vine removal.

Thanks so much Paris. This looks great. I like the slogan “Choking Hazard”, which really ‘grabs’ people’s attention! Great job! Thanks for adding the links too, which is perfect!.
