The Invaders of Texas Program is an innovative campaign whereby volunteer "citizen scientists" are trained to detect the arrival and dispersal of invasive species in their own local areas. That information is delivered into a statewide mapping database and to those who can do something about it. The premise is simple. The more trained eyes watching for invasive species, the better our chances of lessening or avoiding damage to our native landscape.

Now anyone in Texas can now become an Invaders of Texas Citizen Scientist with our new Voyager Program. The Voyager Program is for those who have been wanting to join the Invaders of Texas Citizen Science program but have not been able to attend a training workshop. The Voyager program consists of 8 online training modules with a quiz at the end of each. Once completed, you will be able to enter data into the Early Detection database. Your hours in the field observing and reporting these destructive invasive species within your local chapter's area will count toward your volunteer hours with the Texas Master Naturalist Program as long as this project is pre-approved through your chapter's TMN project approval process.
