Description

This training is the introductory course into University of Minnesota Extension's & the Minnesota Aquatic Invasive Species Research Center's volunteer and citizen science program, AIS Detectors. The training is a hybrid online/in-person course. The course starts online with a self-paced training that takes approximately 8 hours to complete and wraps up with a one-day in-person workshop. Participants will need to complete the online portion prior to arrival at the in-person event. The course covers some aquatic ecology basics and then dives into the biology, impacts, and identification of eleven invasive plants and animals of concern for Minnesota. Participants will also learn how to report invasive species, best practices for preventing the spread, rules and regulations, and how to search for aquatic invasive species on your own.
