There are two upcoming Invasive Species Management events that we would love your help with!

We are recruiting volunteers to join us on July 26^th, and August 9^th to help manage two stands of invasive Phragmites on our Bert and Millie’s Marsh Nature Reserve.

Phragmites is an invasive wetland grass that was introduced to North America in the 1800s. It forms dense stands and spreads aggressively, negatively impacting species at risk. We have been working to eradicate the two stands on Bert and Millie’s Marsh over the past few years, and the time of year for “Phragmites Phighting” is here again.

Past experience with invasive species management is helpful but not required. We are looking for volunteers who are:

• Passionate about nature conservation
• Willing to get their hands dirty in the field
• Don’t mind working in various weather and biting insects

Training and equipment will be provided.

If you are available and interested in signing up to volunteer for one or both of the Phrag Phighting dates, or have any questions please email:
