become a partner
Are you an organization on Long Island, Staten Island, Queens, or Brooklyn? Your group can become a LIISMA partner!
Our entire framework depends on collaboration with our partners across the region. LIISMA is available as a resource to our partners for consultation on invasive species planning and management, and in monitoring sites of high ecological value and emerging invasive species. We provide partners with training opportunities through workshops and webinars, connecting partners with invasive species management strategies throughout New York State. LIISMA coordinates regional data management by training partners in data collection using iMapInvasives, a statewide database developed by the New York Natural Heritage Program, and iNaturalist, an application to record and organize nature findings. We support partners in education and outreach efforts, such as Invasive Species Awareness Week and other programs across the LIISMA region.
Our partners participate in meetings where we share information, updates, and management strategies with one another. Our LIISMA partners’ meetings are open to the public. Contact us to learn more.
