“I have spent my entire adult life removing non-native invasive plants from natural areas in southern ON and spreading awareness about this issue. My community of conservationists cannot do this alone. We need big suppliers like Home Depot to listen to us, survey the damage, and commit to removing invasive plants from shelves.”
