APIPP’s long history includes many firsts for invasive species programming in the Adirondacks, New York state, and the nation. It all started more than 25 years ago, when APIPP became the first of what has since become New York’s Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM) network, which now has eight similar organizations throughout the state.
Over the years, APIPP has helped establish a number of ongoing initiatives including New York Invasive Species Awareness Week, Early Detection/Rapid Response teams that target a wide variety of species, and the region’s first citizen scientist programs to survey lakes and terrestrial environments for invasive plants and animals. APIPP also collaborates and shares its data with academic institutions to advance priority invasive species research.
