About the event
GBF's "Phrag Busters" will be in Carling all week, removing Phragmites, one of the most destructive invasive plants threatening Georgian Bay's wetlands and shorelines. The week-long effort will include work in Gowar Bay, Pleasant Island, Deep Bay, Crow Island, Lockie Island, Bateau Island, and Franklin Island before wrapping up with a community volunteer event.
· 9:30 a.m. – Meet at the Snug Harbour Dock
· Travel by boat to the beach on Franklin Island (just north of Regatta Bay)
· Return by approximately 1:00 p.m.
No experience is necessary. GBF staff will provide a brief training session before heading into the field for a few hours of rewarding, hands-on conservation work. Think of it as pulling weeds—just on a much larger scale!
