Native Species Planting
Midland, ON – Discover the wonders of Wye Marsh’s
upland forest while helping to replenish the native plant source of this
important ecosystem. For the last three years Wye Marsh has been controlling
Glossy Buckthorn, an exotic invasive shrub introduced from Europe. To
balance the impact of this invasive species on the native wildlife and
to support our control methods, we will be planting a variety of native
plants that are naturally found in this forest system. Participants will
be educated on the importance of native wildlife and the ecological problems
associated with introducing exotic species into natural areas.
Date: Saturday September 17th
Time: 2 – 4pm
Cost: General Admission - Pre-registration is required!
What to Bring: A gardening spade or small shovel and appropriate clothing,
including protective footwear and gloves. |
