Invaders of Texas Volunteer Workshop (AT)

Invaders of Texas is a Citizen Science Program to Detect and Report Invasive Species.

Become a Citizen Scientist. Do you want to help slow down the spread of harmful invasive species and reduce their ecological and economic damage?  The first step is to locate where invaders have arrived and get that information to those who can do something about it. That’s where citizen scientists come in. Citizen scientists are volunteers who receive expert training to identify and track important invaders in our area.

Invaders of Texas Volunteer Workshops:  In cooperation with the Texas Forest Service, Texas Cooperative Extension, Texas Master Naturalists and Texas Parks and Wildlife.
