Morgan, Executive Vice President of the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters. We would like to bring to your attention an environmental threat that is devouring-one million acres of wetlands across North America each year: PURPLE LOOSESTRIFE. Unlike many informational pieces of correspondence your council receives, this plea is a call for action. Your municipality can do something to prevent this ecological disaster. Purple loosestrife is a perennial plant imported from Europe. Deceivingly beautiful, the plant's three-foot purple stems of blooms are destroying treasured wetlands across the province. Once purple loosestrife infiltrates a wetland, it pushes aside all indigenous plants vital, to the habitat of this province's fish and wildlife. It has no known predator in Ontario. Aside from its effect on fish and wildlife, loosestrife also robs us of a � wetland's ability`to purify ground water and control flooding. f Purple loosestrife slowly turns wetlands into soil, drains them and leaves 1 them useless for almost all forms of life. Many American jurisdictions have acted swiftly to control it, but Ontario has only just begun to recognize its threat. Recently, the County of Bruce.took the lead and had the Ontario Ministry of Agriculture and Food declare purple loosestrife a local noxious weed. As you know,.each municipality must pass a relevant bylaw for ministry approval before a weed control officer can move to control this "purple plague." You have purple loosestrife in your municipality. In July and August, their blooms tower everywhere, and each year they increase in number. One plant produces 2.7 million seeds. As they increase, more fish and wildlife become homeless. Ontario has already lost more than 75 percent of its wetlands since the turn of the century — we cannot afford to lose any more!

The Region has received correspondence dated July 2 , 1991, from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, addressed to all municipalities in Ontario concerning Purple Loosestrife. They are requesting all j municipalities to declare it a local noxious weed and have enclosed a copy of a by-law pas-sed by the County of Bruce. A2 TS1 Ds Page 2 Report 91-W-193 Date August 27 , 1991 Report (cont'd. ) The Townships of Uxbridge and Brock and the Town of Whitby, having received the correspondence from the Ontario Federation of Anglers and Hunters, have forwarded it to the Region as it is the Region who enforces the Weed Control Act. The Minister of Agriculture and Food, in his response, did not indicate the plant would be added to the Provincial noxious weed listing. He indicated that the Region could pass a by-law designating the plant as a local noxious weed and he would be prepared to approve the by-law. The Purple Loosestrife plant has received a great deal of attention recently. There are apparently no effective means of destroying the plant without causing other environmental damage. These are underway in Ontario and the United States, but until an environmentally sound means of destroying the plant is found, weed inspectors have no method of enforcing a by-law. The weed inspector for Bruce County acknowledges they have a by-law but he is not able to enforce it. Designating the plant a local noxious weed gives a message to the public that it can be destroyed when, in fact, it can't. Passing a by-law making the plant a local noxious weed is not an effective means of control. We have undertaken a survey of some of the nurseries and garden centres in the Region to find out whether the plant was being sold. The results are attached. As can be seen, some nurseries are still selling the plant. Information will be provided to these outlets in an effort to discourage their selling of the plant in future . The Federal and Provincial Ministries of Agriculture should also be requested to undertake a public education program concerning the impacts of the Purple Loosestrife plant. NlaA V.A.
