Defenders of Wildlife works on the ground, in the courts, and on Capitol Hill to protect and restore imperiled wildlife and habitats across North America.
Aquatic invasive plants such as Water Chestnut can infest our lakes and rivers, impede the flow of water, and prevent people from enjoying recreational activities.
Community volunteers can make a big difference and play an important role in helping Parks Canada manage the spread of these invasive plants.
Join Parks Canada ecologists on the Rideau Canal as they demonstrate the skills and equipment you will need to identify European Water Chestnut and carefully remove it on your own.
