New York’s Invasive Species Awareness Week (#NYISAW) is from June 6th – 12th!
The mission of the New York Invasive Species Awareness Week (NYISAW) is to promote knowledge and understanding of invasive species and the harm they can cause. We want to empower YOU to stop the spread of invasive species!
In
celebration of New York Invasive Species Awareness Week, CCE Schoharie and Otsego Counties will be hosting the following workshops:
