Governor's Invasive Species Council State Documents

The Governor's Invasive Species Council works to identify invasive plant, insect, and animal species that currently threaten or could potentially threaten Pennsylvania's natural and agricultural resources and the industries they support. The Council develops and works to implement the Commonwealth's invasive species management plan, which provides a framework for the prevention and control of invasive species at the state level. The Council also advises the Governor on invasive species policy development, facilitates coordination between agencies and organizations to address invasive species threats, and conducts outreach and education. 

The publications of the Governor's Invasive Species Council contain newsletters, biennial reports, and strategic plans. Selected topics from these publications include introduced species "invaders" and yearly agency happenings. The bulk of the current material is dated from 2016 to present.
