The Adirondack Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM), stafffed by APIPP, is only as strong as its partners. APIPP always welcomes and appreciates participation of new cooperating organizations willing to help advance the mission of the Adirondack PRISM. 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 Adirondack community, and collaborate on shared priorities. Partners help meet the goals of the Adirondack PRISM strategic plan by taking action to prevent, monitor, and/or manage invasive species.  You can find out more about being a partner below and by viewing the Adirondack PRISM Operating Principles.

Partner Benefits

Connection: Adirondack PRISM partner meetings and events provide an opportunity to engage with other organizations and individuals committed to minimizing the impact of invasive species.
