Best Practices in Invasive Species Management

Developing urgently needed guides for managing critical invasive species in New York state

Invasive plant and animal species can be devastating to the regions they invade, threatening ecosystems, economies and human health. A one-size-fits-all method of prevention, detection and management does not exist, so environmental managers need species-specific guides to combat the more than 400 invasive species currently in New York state. In collaboration with the New York Invasive Species Research Institute, Partnerships for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISMs) and the New York Department of Environmental Conservation, undergraduate students are creating these best practice guides. The useful guides balance scientific findings and approaches with the real-life limitations managers face, such as the ability to use pesticides and feasibility of treatments.
