May is Invasive Species Awareness Month! Here at MacGregor Point staff are always on the hunt for invasive plants, keeping these species out of our wetlands is an ongoing task that requires a lot of monitoring!

We regularly monitor apps like iNaturalist to investigate new populations of invasive species found within the park. Visitor reports provide staff with valuable information on areas in which invasives may be growing unnoticed.
