Matthew Wallrath is Outreach Specialist at the Wisconsin First Detector Network, a community science program that empowers people to take action through invasive species monitoring, management, and outreach. Invasive species are considered to be the number two threat to biodiversity, second only to habitat loss. The effects of invasive species are increasingly evident on Wisconsin’s landscape. Despite efforts by governmental agencies, non-native species continue to establish and spread throughout our state, affecting our economy and environment. While some of these pests are here to stay, many others have not yet been found here, and still more are found at low enough levels that eradication may be possible. Efforts to prevent new introductions and to identify new infestations before they become established are the best way to ensure the survival of many of Wisconsin’s iconic plants, animals, and ecosystems.
