“Your team was here yesterday and today, and I just have to say—they’re easily the cheeriest and hardest-working group I’ve ever met. Always a delight to work with!”

“Before IPCC stepped in, we were losing our shoreline inch by inch. Now, we’re seeing native plants return, birds nesting again, and people reconnecting with the lake. It’s more than weed control—it’s restoration.”

- Local volunteer, Kincardine Residents Against Phragmites

“The Invasive Phragmites Control Centre has been instrumental in helping communities like ours understand the science, build a plan, and take action. Without their guidance, we’d still be watching our wetlands disappear.”

- Lambton Shores Phragmites Community Group

“We’ve been at this since 2017, and every year we see more native plants return, more birds nesting, and more people realizing what’s at stake. It’s not just about removing Phragmites—it’s about restoring the soul of the shoreline.”

- Oliphant Fishing Islands Phragmites Community Group

“We’re not just cutting weeds—we’re restoring a lake. Every stem removed is a step toward protecting wildlife, reconnecting people to nature, and preserving Lake Bernard for future generations.”
