Managing the spread of invasive species in a region as vast as the Adirondacks is a challenge that requires collaboration across many organizations to be effective. While APIPP staff play an active role in invasive species monitoring, management, and education, the success of invasive species prevention and control efforts in the Adirondack Park is truly a testament to the work of our partners, who help us meet the goals of the Adirondack PRISM strategic plan by taking action to prevent, monitor, and/or manage invasive species.

If your organization is interested in helping the Adirondack PRISM advance its mission to work in partnership to minimize the impact of invasive species on the Adirondack region’s communities, lands, and waters, you can learn more below about the benefits of becoming a partner and how you can contribute. You can also review the Adirondack PRISM Operating Principles.
