Invasive Species Awareness Week

Learn about tracking and identifying invasive species from July 12 to July 18 at the Jay Heritage Center in Rye, New York.

New York State is celebrating its second Invasive Species Awareness Week from July 12 to July 18!

Invasive species affect all New Yorkers - from hikers to highway personnel, from birders to boaters and from farmers to foresters. The mission of the New York Invasive Species Awareness Week (ISAW) is to promote knowledge and understanding of invasive species to help stop their spread by engaging citizens in a wide range of activities across the state and encouraging them to take action.

Stop by JHC offices to see our exhibit and pick up a pamphlet about identifying Mugwort, Japanese Barberry, Garlic Mustard, Japanese Knotweed, Emerald Ash Borer and many other invasives!
