    Amherst State Park is home to an abundance of both terrestrial and aquatic species of plants and trees both Native and Invasive.  Many of the flora contained within support the ecosystem of the park and ongoing efforts with WNY Invasive species volunteer task force, WNY PRISM and the Buffalo Niagara Riverkeepers have made significant progress on Invasive Species management and removal.  Long term management plans have been put in place for early Detection Rapid Response.
