CRISP staff will be presenting two talks for the Schoharie Watershed Summit 2021.
View of the Horizon: Invasive Species to Look for this Year
John Thompson (Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership)
Invasive species threaten the ecology, economy and our health in the Schoharie watershed. Learn what invasive plants and animals are spreading towards our area and those invasives just coming into the watershed. Find out what you can do to report these new threats and help to slow their spread.
Management Techniques for Common Invasive Plants in the Catskills
Dan Snider (Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership)
Dan Snider, Field Projects Manager for the Catskill Regional Invasive Species Partnership, will discuss best management practices for common terrestrial invasive plants, including Japanese knotweed, Japanese barberry, Oriental bittersweet and more. He will also cover useful invasive species management resources such as iMap Invasives and the IPMDAT.

This virtual session will be conducted using the program Zoom. Participants will have the option to interact using audio/video during designated Q&A times as well as the option to use the chat feature during the event. In order to participate you will need to download Zoom on the device that you will be using to participate (e.g., computer, tablet, or smartphone). The majority of the event will include looking at slides shared by the presenter, so we do not recommend participants join using the call-in option only.
