You can help National Invasive Species Awareness Week reach new people in new ways
NISAW sponsors are critical partners that ensure the capacity of NAISMA to coordinate outreach, advocacy activities, and raise the awareness of invasive species concerns to the public and elected officials.
NISAW webinars provide free continuing education on topics such as advocacy training, legislative priorities, new techniques, and what’s on the horizon for invasive species management, research, and policy across all taxa.
NISAW is coordinated by the North American Invasive Species Management Association in partnership with many federal agencies, state agencies, and local organizations. We estimate a reach of more than 10,000 individuals each year.
