Shapiro Administration Highlights Invasive Species Removal and Ecosystem Restoration at Cumberland County Conservation District Office

Pennsylvania Department of Conservation and Natural Resources (DCNR) Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn joined officials from across the Shapiro Administration to spotlight efforts to combat invasive species and restore native ecosystems during the Invasive Replace-ive event hosted by the Governor's Invasive Species Council at the Cumberland County Conservation District.

The event brought together leaders from DCNR, Department of Agriculture (PDA), Pennsylvania Game Commission (PGC), and Pennsylvania Fish and Boat Commission (PFBC) to highlight how replacing invasive plants with native species helps restore habitat, protect wildlife, and promote biodiversity. Participants received native plants to support restoration efforts in their own landscapes - part of a series of five Invasive Replace-ive events held across the Commonwealth this spring, all of which quickly reached capacity.

These events reflect Governor Shapiro's commitment to protecting Pennsylvania's natural resources, engaging communities, and fostering healthier ecosystems across the state.

Speakers Include:
Department of Agriculture - Deputy Secretary Fred Strathmeyer Jr.
Department of Conservation and Natural Resources - Secretary Cindy Adams Dunn
Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission Executive Director - Timothy Schaeffer
Pennsylvania Game Commission Director of the Bureau of Wildlife Habitat Management - Timothy Haydt
