| Workshop to educate on the threat of invasive species |
|
Peterborough, Ont (July 21, 2010) Ontario residents have heard a lot about invasive species in recent days as the negative implications of Giant Hogweed were made widely known. While Hogweed is one of the better known invasives in our province, there are literally dozens of species, including many in the Kawarthas, that threaten our natural eco systems. On Sunday, July 25th, from 2:00 to 3:00 p.m. at the Ecology Park, 1867 Ashburnham Drive in Peterborough, Sue Prentice of the Lakeland Alliance will be leading a workshop on the topic of alien invasive species in the Kawartha, Haliburton and Bancroft areas. The hour-long workshop will cover topics such as identifying and properly removing invasive species, reducing the occurrence of invasives and will provide some tips on how to prevent them in the first place. “Plants are the most visible invasive organism that comes to mind, but people should also be aware of invasive aquatic life including zebra mussels and the round goby, said Mike Gibbs coordinator of the Lakeland Alliance. “We’ll have samples of these species on hand courtesy of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters Invading Species Program to help cottagers identify these species so they can report sightings and share their knowledge with others.” Some tips that local residents can follow include being able to identify the types of invasive species found in southern Ontario, plant only native species of trees, shrubs and plants when gardening at the cottage and especially avoid inadvertently transporting live organisms from one area to another. Boaters are also urged to remove plant material or aquatic wildlife from boats, fishing gear and other marine equipment before moving to another body of water.
