(Madison) The Wisconsin Department of Natural Resources has announced that nominations are now open for the 20th annual Wisconsin Invasive Species Council Invader Crusader Awards.
Invader Crusaders are Wisconsin residents and organizations who made significant contributions in 2023 to prevent, control, or eradicate invasive species that harm the state’s native wildlife, wetlands, forests, prairies, lakes, and rivers.
Nominees can be individuals, groups, or organizations who showed exemplary efforts to address issues surrounding terrestrial and aquatic invasive plants or animals. A panel of judges selected by the Wisconsin Invasive Species Council will review the nomination materials and select the winners.
Nominators and winners will be notified by mid-April and recipients will be recognized in June during Invasive Species Action Month. Nominations will be accepted through February 18, 2024.
