Trail Survey Training
June 22 @ 10:00 am - 12:00 pm
Do you enjoy hiking in western New York? Did you know that trails are one of the most common ways that invasive species spread into natural areas? Join our Trail Survey Program and you can help map invasive species while you’re out hiking! Your contributions will improve invasive species presence and distribution data and can help guide invasive species management efforts in our region.
The training will be split into an indoor/classroom portion and an outdoor/practical portion. During the indoor portion, attendees will learn how to identify focal invasive plant species and how to use the iMapInvasives mobile app. During the outdoor portion, participants will practice identifying plants and submitting reports to iMapInvasives. Please be prepared to spend some time outdoors with appropriate clothing and footwear.
Please register at https://bit.ly/TrailSurveyTraining2024. Registration is required by 1pm on Friday, June 21, 2024. Please check your email the week of the event for more details.
Questions? Email Rachel Taylor, WNY PRISM’s Community Science and Engagement Program Manager at taylorrm@buffalostate.edu. If you would like to participate in the program, but aren’t able to attend the in-person training, please let Rachel know and we can send you a recording of the training.
This training is being held by WNY PRISM in partnership with the Charles E. Burchfield Nature & Art Center.
