Judith Jones, B.S., M.S. has been an environmental consultant based on Manitoulin Island for almost 30 years. Her work includes environmental studies to support development proposals and new aggregate licences and also work to protect natural areas and species at risk.

The Manitoulin Phragmites Project was started to control Invasive Phragmites (Canada's worst invasive plant) across all of the Manitoulin Region.  Now in the 8th year of the project, how is the battle going?  How does one tackle such a tough plant?  What does this invasive do to shores and wetlands? Is Invasive Phragmites affecting Lake Manitou?  Judith Jones, coordinator of the Project, will answer these questions, explain what people need to know about Phragmites, and show us pictures of damage as well as successful eradication here on Manitoulin Island.
