Invasive Species Curriculum Workshop For Grades 6-8 Teachers
July 11 & 12, 2019 Invasive species are non-native plants, animals, insects and diseases that threaten our environment, health
and economy and are a major ecological threat in the Finger Lakes region and throughout NYS. Due to a lack
of predators, invasive species populations grow quickly and outcompete our native species for resources,
disrupting food webs and even endangering some species. It is crucial that students have a basic under-
standing of invasive species and the importance of environmental stewardship. Teachers will learn the
history of invasive species and participate in hands-on identification of high priority aquatic and terrestrial
invasive species in this 2-day workshop.
