🌿🚀 Exciting News! The Invasive Phragmites Control Fund is supporting local action and expanding control activities in Ontario 🌱💪 Let's take a closer look at how the fund recipients are taking action! One initiative in northern Ontario is led by Grand Council Treaty #3, the traditional government of the Anishinaabe Nation in Treaty #3. After mapping and DNA testing Phragmites in 2022 and 2023, they confirmed the presence of invasive species and are now set to expand their efforts in 2024. 🌾 Their efforts will target new regions and 28 Treaty #3 First Nation communities. 👏 Huge thanks to all the community groups, Indigenous organizations, and municipalities joining the fight against invasive Phragmites! Your efforts are truly making a difference.
