Invasive Species Technician: Alyssa Cloutier

Did you know that the Alberta Lake Management Society offers workshops on how to identify native and invasive aquatic plants?
This summer, ALMS will be attending communities across the province to educate and train citizen scientists on the topic of aquatic invasive plants. Requesting a workshop in your community is simple!
Send your request via e-mail to our invasive species technician, Alyssa Cloutier, at acloutie@ualberta.ca to get started!
Why is this important? Well, unlike zebra and quagga mussels, we actually already have many invasive aquatic plants in some of our lakes! At these two hour workshops, you can expect to learn to identify native and invasive plants, receive your own sampling equipment, and learn how you can prevent the spread of these harmful species!
We are excited to partner with the University of Alberta's Vascular Plant Herbarium on this great initiate - if you've never heard of the herbarium before, you need to check them out here!
