WATCH: “Uninvited: The Spread of Invasive Species” (NYSDEC)
In Week 3 of our GROW Training Program, we introduce a few invasive plant species that are commonly seen in the landscape such as garlic mustard and giant hogweed. Invasive species are not just plants, they can be insects and aquatic species too!
“Uninvited: The Spread of Invasive Species” is a 52-minute documentary that tells the story of invasive species in New York State - not far away from Ontario, which sees the same invasive species in our local environments. It also shows the mitigation actions and innovative solutions that scientists and environmental professionals are doing to tackle this issue.
