Outreach

Middle and High School Youth Outreach

The DPM outreach program was designed to raise awareness of invasive species, promote early detection of exotic pests and pathogens, and encourage sample submission in middle and high school aged students. Additionally, the program also serves to evaluate current knowledge of Florida’s youth on invasive species and plant biosecurity.

Florida First Detector

Florida First Detector is a multiagency educational effort focused on enhancing the early detection of exotic, invasive pests that threaten agriculture, nursery industries, and natural areas. Our website provides scripted presentations for educators of Master Gardeners, small farm producers, nursery growers, public garden staff, and state park personnel. Our website also directly links interested members of the public and past workshop attendees to Florida-focused e-Learning modules which are offered through the UF-IFAS Plant Biosecurity University canvas catalog.
