Name: Wakefield-Brown, Patty
Institution: Finger Lakes Institute/FL-PRISM
Description of Teaching:
I am an Invasive Species Outreach and Volunteer Specialist at The Finger Lakes Institute/FL-PRISM. I do presentations and outreach with K-12, college students and home/landowners. I teach invasive species ID, management, and control. I oversee an aquatic macrophyte survey pilot program (2017) and also promote stewardship and empowerment in my presentations to enforce Better Management Practices (BMP). I stress that “if we all did one little thing every day, what a difference we could make.”

Name: Shulenburg, Patricia
Institution: Save The river
Description of Teaching:
I am currently the Program Manager/Project Manager for Save The River. I wrote, administer, and manage a $100,000 NYSDEC Invasive Species Research grant focusing on unionid refuge using habitat as a biological control for dressenid mussels. I also teach citizen science monitoring, reporting, and management for iMapInvasives and incorporate interpretive hikes, paddles, and management demonstration projects.
I have taught invasive species sections of undergraduate coursework as an adjunct professor and field identification for over five years. I was the WNY PRISM Education and Outreach Assistant in 2015 and assisted with invasive species management including herbicide application, identification, and early detection/rapid response.
From 2015-2017 I managed terrestrial and aquatic invasive species for central Region State Parks and wrote the Phragmites management plan for Sandy Island Beach State Park. I am also a Project Wet and Aquatic Wild trainer, and incorporate New York State Science Learning Standards and Common Core Learning Standards into classroom and educator trainings.

Name: Phillips, Meg
Institution: New York State Department of Environmental Conservation
Description of Teaching:
I work as the Invasive Species Education and Outreach Coordinator at the NYSDEC. In 2016 and 2017 I have been working with a team to develop invasive species curriculum “mini units” aligned to the new P12 New York State Science Learning Standards. I also occasionally am invited to present as a guest lecturer for undergraduate ecology and environmental science courses. For the classroom component, I typically provide an overview of the invasive species program in New York, give examples of species and the impacts that they have had locally, and offer solutions for preventing their spread and establishment (prevention, early detection, rapid response, monitoring). I like to include a field component if time allows, during which students learn how to identify a handful of species and report infestations to the iMap Invasives database.

Description of Teaching:
I teach about invasive species in the context of conservation biology (BIOL 330), applied natural resource conservation (ENST 315), and a senior seminar in environmental studies (ENST 490).
I would be available to give seminars on invasive earthworms in the Northeast and their relationship to biodiversity and native earthworm species. I conduct research on both European (lumbricid) and Asian (megascolecid) invasive earthworms.

Name: Kolozsvary, Mary Beth
Institution: Siena College
Description of Teaching:
I am an Associate Professor of Environmental Studies and Sciences at Siena College. I offer an upper-level majors elective course, ENVA 305, Invasive Species. I also incorporate invasive species lectures, labs, and group projects that involve invasive species in other courses (e.g., ENVA 250 Ecosystem Ecology, ENVA 450 Conservation Biology, ENVA 015 Principles of Ecology (non-majors, core disciplinary course)). I have guest lectured on the topic in another non-majors, core disciplinary course, ENVA 020 Biological Diversity). I also mentor undergraduate researchers in independent studies involving invasive species (field and lab based projects; summer and during the school year).
