This week is New York state’s sixth annual Invasive Species Awareness Week (ISAW). Carrie Brown-Lima, director of the New York Invasive Species Research Institute at Cornell University, is an expert in invasive species issues. She says hydrilla and the hemlock woolly adelgid are some of the most problematic invasive species in New York and by making efforts to help stop the spread of the species we can reduce damages they cause.
