Request for Proposals for LH PRISM Subcontract Projects

One avenue of success for the Lower Hudson PRISM is to contract out projects that need more comprehensive work. An annual request for proposals is issued in January each year that help build regional capacity to tackle invasive species issues.

Some of the contracted projects include surveying, treating or managing high threat invasive species in the Lower Hudson Region, while others develop or provide educational and outreach material for targeted audiences.
