This
week is California Invasive Species Action Week (CISAW). A bit like
Earth Day, the Invasive Species Action Week focuses on an environmental problem
- invasive species. And like Earth Day, its purpose is to educate
Californians about the problem and inspire us to take individual and
collective action. You can read more about ASAW at: https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Invasives/Action-Week

What can you do to celebrate
Invasive Species Action Week all year long? Here are a few ideas:
Learn about invasive species: http://www.slideshare.net/cvadheim/invasive-species-action-week-2015
Take the Invasive Species Action
Challenge: http://www.slideshare.net/cvadheim/invasive-species-action-challenge
Volunteer for invasive species
removal/restoration projects.
Many local preserves & wild areas have regular
restoration days and would appreciate your help.
Find out which species threaten
California.
Remove invasive plants from your
property.
Select native or non-invasive plants
for your garden. www.plantright.org - see also the Native
Plant Gallery page on this blog: http://mother-natures-backyard.blogspot.com/p/learn-more-about-native-plants.html
Download the ‘Wicked Weeds’ posters
and post them where appropriate - http://www.slideshare.net/cvadheim/wicked-weeds-posters-2014
Use certified “weed-free” hay, seed,
mulch, soil and gravel.
Buy it where you burn it: Don’t spread forest pests by
moving campfire wood from one place to another.
Learn which invaders are in your
local area.
Monitor plants and trees for
infestation symptoms.
Report a Sighting - have you spotted an
invader? Tell us where! Visit the Department of Fish and Wildlife’s
Invasive Species Program web page (https://www.wildlife.ca.gov/Conservation/Invasives/Report)
