Andie Graham, Environmental Science and Ecology staff member, received funding from the Bergen Swamp Preservation Society to continue work on the invasive grass, slender falsebrome (Brachypodium sylvaticum), in Bergen Swamp.

The funds supplement a project funded by the NYS Department of Environmental Conservation for the period 2018-2021, that focused on the removal of the invasive grass from ecologically important areas of the Bergen Swamp property.

Andie has been working with undergraduate students and graduate students during the invasive grass project in Bergen Swamp and will continue to do so under these funds.

The award will be administered by The Research Foundation for SUNY at SUNY Brockport.
