In collaboration with the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the Fundy Biosphere Region, and the Petitcodiac Watershed Alliance, we targeted two patches of phragmites along the Petitcodiac River last week using two methods – digging out the entire plant as well as cutting down the plant and covering the stalks with tarps. Going forward, the patches will be monitored to see which method may be the most effective for tackling other patches.
