A Call Out For Harriman State Park Phragmites Survey Volunteers:

We appreciate your interest in participating in the survey of Phragmites australis in Harriman State Park! Invasive Phragmites is extremely hard to remove once it has gained a foothold. The New York-New Jersey Trail Conference eagerly extends this opportunity to perform valuable fieldwork while enjoying the trails of Harriman State Park.

How to get involved:
Come to a pre-survey workshop/meeting on Feb 9th, 3pm @ the Highlands Environmental Research Institute (HEnRI) across the street from the Sterling Forest Visitor Center.

Contact Marnie Miller-Keas at HEnRI at (845)-351-2106 or by e-mail at pjsnowmule@hotmail.com.

You will be assigned an area to check for the presence or absence of this invasive plant.
