Subject
invasive species
Description
Invasive species are organisms that are not native to the ecosystem in which they inhabit. These species are often harmful to the environment, using up resources with no natural methods of regulation. Invasive species are a well established presence in the Adirondack Park of New York, located in the northeast of the state. It encompasses over six million acres, including lakes, rivers, wetlands, and old-growth forests. Since 1998, the Adirondack Park Invasive Plant Program (APIPP) has aimed to protect the region from invasive species.
