This is a handout from our webinar, "Phragmites australis: Why we cannot afford to ignore this invasion" webinar. Invasive Phragmites australis is a critical issue in Canada, threatening ecosystems. To control it effectively, a careful plan is necessary, considering factors like timing, capacity, and wildlife. A unique strategy is required for each situation, and access to funding, experts, and volunteers is crucial. This flow chart and education resource aim to help individuals and community groups develop a plan to address invasive Phragmites in their area.
This presentation provides background information on Canada’s worst invasive plant, why it is such a concern, and control methods used in sensitive habitats. It will also highlight successful control programs underway throughout Ontario and plans for implementing a province-wide control program.
