Empowering Youth: How Community Scientists can Combat Invasive Species

Are you a nature enthusiast with an interest in protecting natural resources? Become a community scientist and learn how to protect land and water from invasive species! Invasive species are plants, animals, insects, and pathogens that are introduced to an area and cause harm to the environment, economy, or society. When left undetected, invasive species can spread throughout their introduced range, causing severe impacts to the environment, economy, or society. Community scientists are crucial for invasive species prevention, as they’re often the first to identify new infestations and make reports. Early detections of new invasive species can initiate collaborative, rapid responses that aim to protect native ecosystems and community resources. This webinar will highlight some examples of successful community science and discuss practical ways you can contribute to ongoing efforts in your area by connecting you with current programs and resources.
