REPORT AN INVASIVE

Join WNY PRISM in protecting western New York from the harm caused by invasive species and help stop the spread! An important first step for management is understanding the presence and distribution of invasive species in WNY, so we are asking everyone to place their invasive species observations in iMapInvasives.

WNY PRISM Early Detection and Approaching Region Lists

iMapInvasives provides Early Detection and Approaching Region Lists for PRISM Regions, based on the data they have collected. There are over 120 species currently listed under these categories for WNY PRISM. However, many of these are due to under reporting. Help us to establish more accurate lists by entering observations for the following species:

Black Jetbead (Rhodotypos scandens)

Yellow Floating Heart (Nymphoides peltata)

IMapInvasives hold trainings in each PRISM region every year. To see this schedule, please visit www.nyimapinvasives.org. If you don’t see a training in your area and you have a group that is interested in being trained in how to use iMapInvasvies, contact WNY PRISM. We may be able to set-up an additional training for you.
