National Invasive Species Awareness Week 2/26/24 - 3/3/24

National Invasive Species Awareness Week

NISAW is an international event to raise awareness about invasive species, the threat that they pose, and what can be done to prevent their spread. NISAW is powered by The North American Invasive Species Management Association (NAISMA), which supports local, state, tribal, federal, regional, and national organizations to make NISAW their own with these tools:
