We need your help to develop invasive plants education program (do survey; maybe win a prize!)

Yoohoo! Gardeners and property owners! Can you please fill out an online survey about invasive garden plants? The more who complete this survey, the better the new Clean North Invasive Species Education Program will be!

“What’s this new education program all about?”

Earlier this year, Clean North won a microgrant from the Invasive Species Centre to develop an education program on invasive garden plants. It will be focused on invasive plants common in the greater Sault Ste. Marie area and include advice on how to remove invasive species and replace them with either native or non-native plants that do not pose a risk to our local natural areas and native flora/fauna.

“Why do a survey?”

Conducting a survey of our potential audience (gardeners and property owners) will help us ensure the educational materials we develop meet the needs of our audience.

“How long will the survey take to complete?”

About 15-20 minutes.

“What’s in it for me?”

Just taking the survey might teach you a few things about invasive plants, and you can opt to be entered into a draw for a $30 gift certificate for New North Greenhouses.

“When do I need to complete the survey by?”

The survey deadline is July 31.

“What if I have a question?”

Email us at info@cleannorth.org.

“Where’s the survey link again??”

It’s right here!

In gratitude…
