Invasive Species Awareness: Three Simple Things You Can Do

Invasive Species Awareness Week wraps up Sunday (March 3rd), but the issue is a year-round concern.

There are some simple things you can do to help reduce the risk of inadvertent spread:

While you haven’t been paying attention, some new invaders are making themselves right at home, including Oak Wilt in Ontario’s Golden Horseshoe.
