flag Ontario launches $10K program to fight invasive phragmites threatening wetlands and infrastructure.

flag The Rideau Valley Conservation Authority has launched the Rideau Valley Phragmites Management Area with a $10,000 provincial grant to combat invasive phragmites, a non-native reed threatening wetlands, wildlife, and infrastructure in Ontario. flag The initiative will unite experts and stakeholders to develop a coordinated control strategy, focusing on the plant’s dense growth that harms native ecosystems, increases fire risks, and disrupts drainage and recreation. flag The invasive species, distinguishable by its tall, tightly clustered growth and tan stems, outcompetes native plants and degrades water quality. flag A working group will meet two to three times yearly, aligning with provincial efforts and neighboring regions to manage the spread effectively.
