Cataraqui Conservation Is offering some help this summer (July 16 to Labour Day) to remove patches of Phragmites that meet the following criteria:
- Small patches (under 400 metres square)
- Growing in standing water (much higher eradication success)
- Safely accessible
Options for assistance include:
- Cataraqui Conservation staff time for half day on weekdays to lead volunteers for on-site removal. If it’s available and suitable for use at the site staff may also bring a gas powered cutter to reduce workload.
- Borrowing Phragmites removal kits to use on your own time: raspberry cane cutters, spade shovels, tarps, and other hand tools.
