 California Invasive Species Action Week
Saturday, June 3 to Sunday, June 11
Take action against invasive species in the Delta! Invasive species negatively impact our water, health, native plants and animals, agriculture, and economy. Invasive species also impact recreational boating and swimming.
Prevention is the most effective strategy in managing invasive species. However, hundreds of invasive plants and animals have already established in California and are rapidly spreading each year.
Join others across the state to help stop the spread of invasive species. From June 3 through June 11, state and local agencies will be hosting discussions, activities, and volunteer opportunities related to invasive species. Volunteer to take action and protect our Delta!
