Helping control the spread of invasive species on your property and throughout Haliburton County is a high impact act of conservation for you and your family to contribute to.
Invasive species outcompete native species, putting native populations at risk, creating mono-culture deserts, and reduce the diversity and resiliency of our forests, wetlands, and waterways.
Invasives can especially impact specialist species like certain bees and moths that rely on specific food sources to survive. These species co-evolve with their preferred food and for various reasons can't or won't pursue alternatives unlike generalists who are more adaptable.
Together we can limit the spread of invasives in order to support the vulnerable native species which evolved here over 1000s of years.
