Fighting to conserve native flora and fauna
The Department of Natural Resources and the Environment's invasive species programs are focused on researching invasive species that threaten New York State. Invasive species are the second largest threat to biodiversity after habitat loss. These programs work to deliver emerging information to professional land managers, state and federal agencies, government officials, and concerned citizens in order to mitigate critical ecological challenges.
Committed to conservation of species and landscapes, the Blossey Lab works to serve as a resource for those interested in understanding the ecological impacts of introduced species, how they interact with native species, and how we can safely utilize biological control using highly specialized herbivores to manage plant invasions.
