Suport

Help sustain territory-wide efforts to prevent and manage invasive species. Your support—through donations, partnerships, or sponsorship—enables education, early detection, and rapid response across Yukon.

Volunteer

Invasive species threaten Yukon’s lands and waters—but you can help. Volunteering with YISC is a hands-on way to support local ecosystems, learn new skills, and connect with your community. Whether you’re interested in helping at events, supporting outreach, doing field work, or contributing behind the scenes, there are flexible opportunities to match your availability and interests. No experience is needed—we’ll provide guidance and support.

Join us for a one-time event or get involved more regularly—every contribution makes a difference.

Roundtable

Help guide the direction of invasive species work in the Yukon by joining our Invasive Species Quarterly Roundtable. This group brings together diverse perspectives to shape priorities, share knowledge, and strengthen collaboration across communities and sectors. We’re looking for individuals with a range of experiences—whether in science, policy, education, or community leadership—who can contribute their insight and help inform our work. 

If you’re interested in making a broader impact and helping shape long-term solutions, we’d love to hear from you.
