Come f(ph)ight Phagmites with us!

We are recruiting volunteers to join us from approximately 9am-1pm on July 20th, July 25th and July 27th to help manage two stands of invasive Phragmites on our Bert and Millie’s Marsh Nature Reserve in Utterson, between Bracebridge and Huntsville near Highway 11.
We need 10 people for each of these days!
Training and equipment will be provided.

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

We will be targeting invasive Phragmites. 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 is here again!

If you are available and interested in signing up to volunteer for any or all of the Phrag Phighting dates, or have any questions please email:
info@muskokaconservancy.org, or call Amanda at (705) 645-7393 ext. 207
