Invasive Species In Your Garden

• Tuesday, June 10, 2025, 4:30 PM - 6:30 PM

The presentation will start at 5 p.m.

Terrestrial invasive species are non-native, land-living plants, animals, or pathogens that negatively impact our environment. These species can disrupt New York's ecosystems, harm native species, and decrease environmental quality.

Join Dan Snider-Nerp, Terrestrial Invasive Species Manager, from the Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership (CRISP) to learn about invasive species commonly found in your garden.

Dan started with CRISP in 2014, working first as an intern and currently as the program's Terrestrial Invasive Species Manager during which time he has cultivated familiarity with the common invasive species of the Catskills region.

Dan has hosted more than 15 workshops and training events regarding the identification and control of the common invasive species in the Catskills, targeting the public at large, Student Conservation Association volunteers, college students, and more. 

Dan has also hosted or participated in a number of surveys and invasive species pulls targeting species such as hemlock woolly adelgid, emerald ash borer, Japanese barberry, and the bush honeysuckles. 

Dan regularly advises private landowners and partner organizations on the various management strategies available to them to help control common invasive species infestations of various sizes, requiring he stay up-to-date on current best management practices. 

Dan also spearhead's CRISP's surveys and control of giant hogweed each year, controlling about 700 stems of giant hogweed each year.
