[All] Wloo Chronicle: Kevin's efforts on invasive species

[Kevin Thomason]

Thank you Eleanor!  It is great to see the Waterloo Chronicle giving front-page space to environmental issues.

Indeed, sadly Phragmites as well as several other invasive species are still being sold by nurseries across the province.  People are unknowingly planting them and worse yet inadvertently spreading their seeds over large areas.

It would be great to have someone lead a program to work directly with area nurseries on this.  I know for now Deb, myself, and others already have our hands full just trying to deal with invasives in the Laurel Creek Headwaters ESL.

Kevin.
