OISC Celebrates 10 Years of Invasive Species Hotline

The Oregon Invasive Species Hotline has been around for 10 years now! Since its launch in 2008, there have been over 2000 reports submitted either online or by phone. The OISC would like to say THANK YOU to everyone that has reported invasive species sightings around the state -- you have contributed to vital early detection and rapid response efforts that aim to stop the spread of invasive species.

In their efforts to detect new outbreaks, invasive species experts in Oregon face the daunting challenge of tracking hundreds of potential new invaders across millions of acres of farms, forests, and waterways. They can't do it alone. They need the help of all Oregonians to be their eyes in the field. To report invaders using the Oregon Invasive Species Online Hotline and search past reports, go here. To call in a sighting, call our Invasive Species Hotline: 1-866-INVADER (1-866-468-2337).
