Welcome to the Hunt!

It’s time to get ready to get out into your yard, garden, field or forest to identify problem plants and stop them from taking over. We're excited to see that some of you have already been posting observations of what you've found!

About the Hunt
The Scavenger Hunt runs June 24 to July 31. You can participate at any time during this period. When and how much you participate is entirely up to you.

Each week we’ll send you challenges, resources and expert advice on how to identify, manage and remove invasive species you might find on your property. Sign up here to receive these resources delivered to your inbox every Monday and to receive your ballot for the free native pollinator plant prize pack giveaway*: http://eepurl.com/h4FSLf.

Get Started
To kick off the Hunt, here are some resources to help you get started.

• Know what pesky plants to look for by using our Top 10 Invasive Plants in the Credit River Watershed
• Get better results on iNaturalist with these tips for making observations
• Discover top plants to replace your troublesome garden invasives
• Learn more about managing the spread of invasive species in the countryside

Weekly Observation
Each week we’ll showcase some of your observations and provide some insight on what you’re finding.

Weekly Challenge
Each week we’ll also give you a small challenge to complete. This week we invite you to post your first observation to iNaturalist. Tell a friend or neighbour about what you found and invite them to participate, too! Remember, invasive species don’t respect fence lines! Sharing your findings with your neighbours helps protect the whole community.
