The introduction, spread, and management of invasive species is heavily influenced by the actions of citizens who live, work, and recreate on public and private lands and waterways of New York. Education and outreach about invasive species increase awareness and knowledge, which are necessary precursors to behavior changes that could reduce risks throughout the State.
