Who’s doing what in Invasive species management in the catskills
Over the course of the past year, we asked our partner organizations to share the work they have been doing to help manage invasive species in the Catskills watershed. CRISP compiled their answers over the course of a 3-part workshop series, to identify the gaps and redundancies in current invasive species management strategies, and to foster discussion around working together efficiently where there are shared goals.
A summary of the “Who’s Doing What in Invasive Species Management in the Catskills” conference series can be found here.
Partner Survey
As a continuation of CRISP’s “Who’s Doing What In Invasive Species Management In The Catskills” workshop series held in 2019, CRISP identified 13 functions that organizations perform to implement invasive species management:
Advocacy, Citizen Science, Control and Rapid Response. Databases. Education and Trainings, Early Detection, Funding, Prevention, Research, Restoration, Surveys and Mapping
During the course of the workshops, partners identified which of these categories their organization or program is involved with, to help determine potential efficiencies, redundancies, and gaps in invasive species management in the region. This form is to allow those organizations to elaborate on how they interface with each of these categories, and to allow organizations that were not able to attend the workshop series a chance for input.
