Invasive Woodland Plants

A wonderful little booklet has been produced for Ontario landowners and gardeners, too.

From the Ontario Invasive Plant Council:

This 24 page booklet was produced by a partnership of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, Ontario Invasive Plant Council, Ontario Stewardship, Victoria Land & Water Stewardship Council, and Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. 

Copies are available from the first 4 partners and in some of the MNR offices. You can also download it here, but please note that it is a large (2 MB) file.
