Saugeen Peninsula Invasive Species Collaborative

Managing Invasive Species in the Municipality of Northern Bruce Peninsula, Town of South Bruce Peninsula, and Township of Georgian Bluffs.

The Saugeen Peninsula Invasive Species Collaborative (SPISC) is a community group made up of partnering organizations with a common interest in eradicating invasive species on the Saugeen Bruce Peninsula.

An invasive species is one that has been introduced by humans, deliberately or accidentally, to an area where it does not naturally occur. Without the diseases, predators and competitors that occur in its native habitat, it can spread uncontrollably, causing damage to native species and their habitats.

The SPISC was formed in 2020 with the intent of developing a united and well-planned management approach for controlling Ontario’s highest priority invasive species: Phragmites australis.
