Invasive species reduce the health of our natural ecosystems by outcompeting native species and reducing habitat quality. You can help protect your favorite hiking trails, paddle-ways, backyard, and community by learning to identify invasive species and report observations to NYiMapInvasvies. Join a training session to learn these skills on June 28th from 1- 3 PM at the Nicandri Nature Center in Massena, NY. Participants will attend a presentation to learn how to identify invasive species of concern. A live demonstration of the following community science apps will be provided, NYiMapInvasives, iNaturalist, and Seek. Following the training, the Nicandri Nature Center staff will lead a guided walk on the nature trails to practice using the mobile apps and contribute data to their iNaturalist special project.
