The State of Maine has announced that February 22-26th is "National Invasive Species Awareness Week" with a staunch focus on stopping the growth of invasive species in Maine. The Maine Department of Agriculture, Conservation and Forestry lays out 10 different ways that you can help. The state of Maine has done a great job providing several recourses like the Maine Invasive Plant Field Guide that will aide you in identification. They also go into detail about how you need to take precautions before you go hiking or camping. There are also national and local webinars to help spread awareness.
