In celebration of NY Invasive Species Awareness Week, Cornell Cooperative Extension Schoharie and Otsego Counties will host free workshops in Cobleskill and Cooperstown. The mission of the New York Invasive Species Awareness Species Week is to promote knowledge and understanding of invasive species and the harm they can cause. We want to empower YOU to stop the spread of invasive species!

In Schoharie County, join us for an Invasive Species Walking Tour on Tuesday, June 7, 2022. We will meet at 5:00 p.m. at the Cobleskill Creek Trail parking lot on Warnerville Cutoff. Please note this will require about 2 miles of walking, so be prepared with proper clothing and footwear. In Otsego County, meet at 6:00 p.m. on Thursday, June 9, 2022, at the Oneonta Town Hall (3966 Highway 23, Oneonta, NY) for a presentation and discussion of local invasives.

Both workshops will feature common invasive species found throughout our counties, include visual examples of the species, descriptions, their negative impacts on our area, and solutions to slow their spread. There is no charge for either workshop, but registration is required (http://www.cceschoharie-otsego.org/NYISAW).
