Wetlands are the most diverse ecosystems in the world. Over 70% of Ontario’s fish and wildlife depend on wetlands at some point in their life cycles. Wetlands are a treasure trove of so many amazing plants\, birds\, fish\, and animals. Over 70% of wetlands in the southern half of the province have been lost to development of one kind or another. Wetland Watchers are volunteer Turtle Guardians that monitor wetlands each week from late June to September and record wildlife observation to help biologists understand the significance of the habitat for wildlife in the area. Volunteers become Level 2 Turtle Guardians. This workshop teaches you how to identify key features and indicator plant species\, basic wetland birds\, frogs\, as well as turtle species and their behaviours. \nPlease register as a Wetland Watcher before attending: https://www.turtleguardians.com/wetland-watcher-registration/ \n\n\n \n \n Turtle Guardian Training Workshop\n Summer 2021 TG Activities \n \n Name*email*phone number*enter area code 705-000-0000Have you registered as a Citizen Science volunteer on our online form\, for your chosen activity yet?*\n \n Yes\n \n \n No\n workshop chosen*RR: Thurs.

The plant colonizes ditches\, bays and wetland pockets. It grows in such thick mats that turtles\, frogs\, and other animals cannot move through their native habitats. The plant is also tall\, and blocks sight lines along roadsides. In the spring Phrag Fighters locate areas where the plant is growing and harming local habitats. Then\, as are part of a team of 3-4 people\, Phrag Fighter teams adopt one or two wetland areas where they are responsible for removing the invasive plant using best practices (so that the seeds don’t spread). Phrag Fighter teams go out between one and three times each summer between June and early August to spade the plants\, bag them in dark bags\, and transport them to locations or landfills to be deposited.   This workshop teaches Phrag Fighters how to identify the plants\, record locations of the plants in EDDMaps\, and then how to remove the plants using the best practices which help to stop the spread of the plant. Phrag Fighting is hard work but also fun and rewarding! Phrag Fighters is part of The Land Between’s Community Science Programs. \nAre you part of a Phrag Fighter team or looking to join one?  Join a phrag team here \nSign up for this workshop below: \n\n \n \n Phrag Fighters\n Phrag Fighter Volunteers \n \n Name*First and LastPhone*Email*\n \n Phrag Fighter Training Dates*Wednesday\, March 10th @ 7pm (surveying only)Thursday\, March 25th @ 7pm (surveying only)Thursday\, April 22nd @ 7pm (surveying only)Tuesday\, May 25th @ 6:30pm (both surveying and removal)Saturday\, May 29th @ 10am (both surveying and removal)Thursday\, June 3rd @ 6:30 pm (both surveying and removal)Saturday\, July 17th @ 1pm (both surveying and removal) URL:https://www.turtleguardians.com/event/phrag-fighters-survey-and-removal-training-4/ LOCATION:Online Zoom Workshop\, Haliburton\, Ontario\, K0M1S0\, Canada ATTACH;FMTTYPE=image/jpeg:https://www.turtleguardians.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/02/invasive-phrag-stand.jpg END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/Toronto:20210720T140000 DTEND;TZID=America/Toronto:20210720T143000 DTSTAMP:20210709T214520Z CREATED:20210709T212711Z LAST-MODIFIED:20210709T214520Z UID:4433-1626789600-1626791400@www.turtleguardians.com SUMMARY:Turtles at Two DESCRIPTION:Learn how to help our shelled friends.
