Volunteer

Volunteers and citizen science play important roles in invasive species research. It is a great way to learn more about ecology and invasive species, get outdoors in your community, and make meaningful contributions to research.

We always encourage you to upload observations of invasive species using websites and apps like EDDMapS , iNaturalist  , and Nature's Notebook  . The data in these apps are used by scientists and researchers and have made a difference in research.
