Because of its tolerance of a wide range of moisture and light conditions, along with its prolific seed production, buckthorn is able to successfully invade many habitats. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1618950595046-QPSN8738TY1D4643G5O6/Phrag_Jill.JPG Resources - Invasive Phragmites Invasive phragmites, a large perennial reed grass native to Europe and Asia, is quickly spreading throughout North America. This plant is capable of forming extensive monocultures that obscure sightlines, block drainage ditches, and destroy wildlife habitat. The extensive underground root network of this plant allow it to grow in a range of habitats, spread quickly, and make it difficult to eradicate. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1618951068788-U65KT2DZOBM6TPA5FX7C/general.jpg Resources - Dog-Strangling Vine (DSV) European swallow-wort, most commonly know as dog-strangling vine, is a member of the milkweed family. While native to Eastern Europe, it has become established throughout many parts of southern Ontario and continues to spread at an alarming rate. Its prolific seeds are small and have a feathery parachute attached, making them easily dispersed by the wind and able to travel great distances. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1618950498291-ZEKL2OUB1LZL4V6PCPB8/Forest_GarlicMustard.jpg Resources - Garlic Mustard Brought to North America by early colonists, this invasive plant is now spreading across the continent at a rate of 6,400 square kilometres per year. The success of garlic mustard is multi-faceted. Aside from having no natural predators in North America, its low palatability and toxic cyanide production make it an unfavourable choice for most native herbivores. https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/dog-strangling-vine daily 0.75 2021-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1621387308686-E18SLUXGG0E25BHZ48EV/general.jpg Dog-Strangling Vine - Overview European swallow-wort, most commonly know as dog-strangling vine, is a member of the milkweed family. It is native to Eastern Europe, having arrived in Canada with European settlers approximately 120 years ago. It has become established throughout many parts of southern Ontario and continues to spread at an alarming rate. Its prolific seeds are small and have a feathery parachute attached, making them easily dispersed by the wind and able to travel great distances. Dog-strangling Vine can be found in a range of habitats, including old fields, shrub thickets, Great Lakes coasts, forests, tallgrass prairies and alvars. While DSV generally has reduced vigour and reproductive potential in forests, it can invade closed-canopy forests and it may dominate groundcover, particularly where there are gaps in the canopy. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1619128553107-7B7RZAM7KBSR3IMLTB06/Kerr_May+20+2016_DSV_2.JPG Dog-Strangling Vine Photo: Nature Conservancy of Canada https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1620783007414-EZAKCT0UAEWTR57DICHJ/Vincetoxicum+nigrum+with+pods_JenniferGibb.JPG Dog-Strangling Vine Photo: Jennifer Gibb https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/dog-strangling-vine-1 daily 0.75 2021-05-18 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1618951923431-D0P2L0NMDMJU0VCPRF32/Forest_GarlicMustard.jpg Garlic Mustard - Overview Brought to North America by early colonists, this invasive plant is now spreading across the continent at a rate of 6,400 square kilometres per year. The success of garlic mustard is multi-faceted. Aside from having no natural predators in North America, its low palatability and toxic cyanide production make it an unfavourable choice for most native herbivores. Garlic mustard grows in a wide rrange of habitats and can often be found in Ontario’s temperate forests, agricultural fencerows, public right of ways and residential lands. While it will invade most disturbed sites, it can also spread into undisturbed habitats, including mature forest floors. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1620785588814-UNLPJVRZ6GD7075DYZLC/From+David+Cappaert%2C+Michigan+State+University.jpg Garlic Mustard Photo: David Cappaert, MSU https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1620785626765-JRB15FWMX94RB2E9J608/From+Ken+Towle.jpg Garlic Mustard Photo: Ken Towle https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1618953455712-3Q2AF0OUVIDR8TFC9YQK/Garlic+Mustard.JPG Garlic Mustard Photo: Nature Conservancy of Canada https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/about daily 0.75 2025-09-03 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/buckthorn daily 0.75 2021-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1619026926022-91YGFTO56Y2I1QZA77YZ/Buckthorn_leaves.JPG Common Buckthorn Photo: Nature Conservancy of Canada https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1620781907129-L0EPT1QP25PBRUUF0EIB/Rhamnus+trunk.jpg Common Buckthorn Photo: Ontario Invasive Plant Council https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1620782426780-HQ2J16LETZUUAUVMJ95H/BUCKTH%7E1.JPG Common Buckthorn Photo: North American Native Plant Society https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/phragmites daily 0.75 2021-05-19 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1621387523205-OWK57T7J6S3YLJ175N0T/Phrag_Jill.JPG Phragmites - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1621351487831-OFU3JW4VEDU6KN10CSBK/TPC+Unsprayed+phrag+patch+FID21.jpg Phragmites Photo: Nature Conservancy of Canada https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1619037545053-Z245XVY4300RVWCFW3U2/Invasive+stem.jpg Phragmites Photo: Great Lakes Phragmites Collaborative https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1620785763013-1AIRDTBJ66WOI33KV3XJ/Seed+Head+Size+-+far+left+is+native.jpg Phragmites Photo: Michael McTavish https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/contact-us daily 0.75 2021-05-18 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/landowner daily 0.75 2025-08-29 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/about-1 daily 0.75 2025-09-03 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/phrag-faq daily 0.75 2022-06-21 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/habitat-aqua-faq daily 0.75 2022-06-21 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/oliphant-phrag daily 0.75 2025-09-05 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/3597925c-f931-47a2-881a-2a06d45a99f8/Oliphant_Fishing_Islands.png Current Phragmites Control - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/c1e1401a-570d-44ca-b705-f87023996a89/Chiefs_point.png Current Phragmites Control - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/notification-sbp daily 0.75 2022-09-06 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/notification-oliphant daily 0.75 2023-09-18 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/home daily 1.0 2025-08-29 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/607eda12c778955a89c5a2ef/1621367783522-GDHULSJNBN5Z9XX0D1S5/_MG_5397.jpg Home - Make it stand out Photo: Invasive Phragmites. https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/notification-oliphant-maps daily 0.75 2025-08-29 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/notification-oliphant-maps-1 daily 0.75 2025-08-29 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/success-stories daily 0.75 2025-09-03 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/free-services daily 0.75 2025-09-03 https://saugeenpeninsulainvasives.ca/oliphant-phrag-1 daily 0.75 2025-09-03
