Today is Day 5 of Invasive Species Awareness Week (ISAW), an annual campaign in Canada led by the Invasive Species Centre and its partners. The goal of ISAW is for communities and individuals to come together to raise awareness about the impacts of invasive species and the importance of preventing their spread. One of the ways YOU can help is to report those you see! See an invasive species during your walk in the park or in your yard that you hadn’t noticed before? Report it today! Together, we can take back our natural spaces!
