Our Partners
Partner with APIPP
Forged in the spirit of partnership more than 20 years ago, APIPP is only as strong as its partners. APIPP always welcomes and appreciates participation of new cooperating organizations willing to help advise and implement APIPP’s work. Join our email listserv or connect with us via social media to stay informed of latest news and events. Annual Partner Meetings are typically hosted in the spring and fall to share updates, hear from the Adirondak community, and collaborate on shared priorities. To make science-based management decisions, APIPP calls on partners to form advisory committees, carry out best management practices, and prevent the spread of new invasive species populations.
APIPP’s mission is to protect the Adirondack region from the negative impacts of invasive species.

Adirondack Watershed Institute of Paul Smith’s College
To help slow the spread of aquatic invasive species that threaten our waterways, the Adirondack Watershed Institute of Paul Smith’s College deploys over 150 stewards each summer to help boaters at public launch sites inspect their boats and trailers for any attached aquatic plants, animals, or mud. Not only are they ensuring that no invasives are hitching a ride on a boat or trailer, but they are also teaching the boater about aquatic invasive species impacts and why preventing their spread is so important. Every summer this impressive team speaks with hundreds of thousands of boaters about aquatic invasive species and how to be good stewards of our waters.

Community Volunteers
Doug Johnson, a summer resident of Inlet, was concerned about infestations of knotweed. Over the last decade Doug built and supported a network of community volunteers across the Park who work with private landowners to control the spread of this invasive which can quickly overtake riparian areas, road corridors and other lands. Controlling knotweed helps reduce habitat loss and costly damage to public infrastructure.
