Capital Region PRISM​​

PARTNERSHIP FOR REGIONAL INVASIVE SPECIES MANAGEMENT
The Capital Region Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM), is hosted by the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Saratoga County. The PRISM is financially supported through the New York State Department of Environmental Conservation via the Environmental Protection Fund.
 
We are a not for profit quasi-government agency.  Our office is staffed with a full time Terrestrial, Aquatics, and Head Coordinator. Our seasonal staff includes part time educators and interns from affiliated colleges and universities in the Capital Region. 
Picture
The PRISM is built on a partnership made up of representatives from state agencies, not for profit organizations, and citizens concerned with the spread of invasive species throughout New York State. ​​The Capital Region PRISM provides services in eleven counties in the New York State Capital Region:  Albany, Columbia, Montgomery, Rensselaer, Schenectady, and parts of Fulton, Herkimer, Saratoga, Warren, and Washington.
 
Our functions include, but are not limited to:
Coordination of partner efforts
Recruiting and training citizen volunteers
Delivering education and outreach programming
Establishing early detection and monitoring networks
Implement eradication and control efforts
Provide funding for invasive species work ​
