Lower Hudson Species Categorization

Description 

The Lower Hudson PRISM's Focal Species Working Group has categorized many of the invasive species found within the PRISM region into 5 Tiers: Tier 1 - threat, Tier 2 - emerging, Tier 3 - established, Tier 4 - widespread, and Tier 5 - watch species. The tier categorization was created as a way to standardize categories throughout New York State. This is a working list and should not be considered a finalized list.
