Calling all landowners, land managers, researchers, naturalists, hikers, bikers and horseback riders... all dog walkers, anglers, ornithologists, volunteers or anyone else who spends time on the Oak Ridges Moraine…we need your help! 

As part of a multi-agency study on the Oak Ridges Moraine addressing the extent to which these exotic, invasive species can be found (see column on the left) we are asking people to help us by reporting serious outbreaks of these species on the moraine.

The purpose of the study is to solidify our understanding about the impacts of invasive species on the moraine and develop remedial strategies for protecting our forests, ravines and open spaces that are affected by them. 

This information is to become part of an information network in conjunction with several ORM agencies for the use of landowners, land managers and groups working towards the health and ecological betterment of the moraine.

The data collected here is also to be used as the basis for community stewardship and youth employment strategies focused on the moraine.  Your input is needed and greatly appreciated.

If you have seen any of these exotic, invasive species please click here and forward whatever information you have in the form provided. 

Thank you!

This study is a project of the Oak Ridges Moraine area Ontario Stewardship Councils
