National Invasive Species Awareness Week or NISAW occurs annually to raise awareness and identify solutions to invasive species issues at local, state, tribal, regional, international, and national scales. During the week of February 22-28, 2021, educational events are scheduled throughout the country to promote awareness on invasive species detection, management, and prevention. In conjunction with the national event, Governor Jay Inslee has proclaimed February 22 - 28, 2021 as Washington Invasive Species Awareness Week to raise awareness and find preventative solutions for invasive species. On February 23rd, the Skamania County Board of Commissioners will proclaim the week of February 22-28, 2021 Invasive Species Awareness Week in Skamania County.
