Funding for Invasive Species Works
|
In order to supplement the great work that is already being done by our partners, we are able to offer subcontracts on behalf of the NYS DEC through a Request for Proposals (RFP). The RFP process provides a method for the CR-PRISM to share and leverage limited resources within the partnership. In addition, the RFP process allows the CR-PRISM to help execute the goals and objectives that further our 5 Year Strategic and 2025 Work Plan. The RFP is not a grant program, and all project proposals are subject to NYS DEC Invasive Species Coordinate Unit approval prior to being awarded for funding. Contracts are also subject to insurance requirements through the Cornell Cooperative Extension of Saratoga County.

Volunteer Engagement & Education Program (VEEP)
The PRISM is seeking to assist collaborators by helping to engage and train their volunteer base to take action. The CR-PRISM will help with management on public, community, and private land holdings (e.g., preserves, parks, and easements) with a volunteer engagement program. The VEEP provides a method and opportunity to share our expertise and experience with groups and entities seeking to control invasive species but don’t know where to start. The goal is to increase your efficacy and impact to slow the spread of invasive species while promoting a more sustainable and functioning ecology on a small scale.
