WNY PRISM

WNY PRISM is a partnership organization focused on invasive species management. Our mission is to address invasive species priorities using a coordinated partnership network, for which we provide leadership, information management and collaboration opportunities. Our goal is to improve, restore and protect local aquatic and terrestrial resources by improving the effectiveness of invasive species management efforts and increasing awareness of invasive species issues throughout our 8 county region. By fostering regional collaboration, the threat of invasive species will be minimized and the natural resources and beauty of western New York will be preserved.

WNY PRISM’s core functions include Partnership Coordination, Information Management, Invasive Species Establishment and Spread Prevention, Early Detection/Assessment/Rapid Response, and Habitat Management and Restoration. We also engage in Invasive Species Education and Outreach, as it relates to our other core functions.
