July 2017
New York's Invasive Species Awareness Week (ISAW) is July 9-15, 2017. Outreach initiatives across the state join forces to promote knowledge and understanding of invasive species and empower citizens to Stop the Invasion.
The NYS Library is celebrating ISAW with a book and informational exhibit during the month of July. The displays highlight some of the resources available in our collection including materials noting where invasive species were first identified or when they were first introduced not knowing the impact the nonnative species would have on the local ecosystem. Some of this information is found in periodicals from the early 1900s, and more current research is located in our collection of eJournals.
