Fwd: Invitation to the Rideau Valley Phragmites Management Area- EAAC Members

[Fred Schueler]

Hi EAAC Members, 

I’ve been asked by Phil Mosher, Deputy Director of Planning, to pass along some information that may be of interest to you. 

Please take a look at the details below.

 

I am reaching out to invite you to join the Rideau Valley Phragmites Management Area (RVPMA) Working Group.

 

The purpose of this working group is to develop a collaborative, regional approach to mapping and managing invasive phragmites- Canada’s worst invasive species.

 

What’s involved

A Phragmites Management Area (PMA) Working Group is a group of diverse stakeholders (municipalities, Indigenous groups, landowners, conservationists) collaborating to address invasive Phragmites by sharing information, mapping locations, promoting best practices, developing regional strategies, educating the public, and coordinating actions across boundaries for management initiatives.  For more information on PMAs, have a look at the Ontario Phragmites Management Regional Plan Guidebook: 2025 edition.

 

If you are interested in joining the RVPMA, please fill out this brief survey or reply to this email: RVPMA member sign up – Fill out form . Please feel free to forward this invitation to anyone you feel may have an interest in joining.

 

If you have any questions, please reach out anytime.

 

NEW- Save the Date! Our first meeting is tentatively scheduled for Friday, January 23, 2026.  An invitation and agenda will be sent to interested partners shortly.

 

 

Sincerely,

 

 

Meaghan McDonald
