On this week's show we'll be talking with the St. Lawrence-Eastern Lake Ontario Partnership's--Education Outreach & Communications Coordinator--Megan Pistolese about their "Pledge to Protect" program. Upon "taking the pledge", one is given "simple actions they can practice and educational resources that will help protect outdoor spaces, backyard, and community."
The St. Lawrence-Eastern Lake Ontario (SLELO) Partnership for Regional Invasive Species Management (PRISM) is in cooperation with The New York State Department of Environmental Conservation and more than twenty-three regional partner organizations. Their mission is to protect native habitats, biodiversity, natural areas, and freshwater resources by using a collaborative and integrated approach to invasive species management with an emphasis on prevention, early detection, rapid response, education, and outreach.
Megan Pistolese holds a Bachelor of Science Degree focused on Ecology, Environmental Education, and Sustainability. She is experienced with aquatic and terrestrial invasive species identification, impacts, modes of introduction, prevention and management methods. She leads our Education & Outreach Committee and collaborates with our partners to raise awareness of invasive species and coordinate outreach events throughout the region. She is working to recruit and train volunteers to recognize and report invasive species through their invasive species Volunteer Surveillance Network (VSN).
