Description: Raising awareness of invasive species often involves hands-on experiences and in-person events. The success of these engagements are often measured by the number of events held, and the number of attendees. The COVID 19 pandemic has changed the way we engage with the public and virtual experiences are becoming the new normal.  This session will showcase tools, tips, and tricks that enhance invasive species education/outreach efforts and strategies in a virtual world.
