About TISG

The Tuesday Invasive Species Group (TISG) began operations at the Fletcher Wildlife Garden in Ottawa, Ontario on May 3, 2011. Several species of invasive plants have been encroaching on the Fletcher Wildlife Garden since its founding in 1991, with Dog-strangling Vine being the most serious of these. Focused efforts against invasives are required if we are to have any success in dealing with them. The TISG has been established to provide that focus.

The group meets every Tuesday morning at 9:00 and works until about noon, with a break around 10:30 at the Interpretation Centre. We are engaged in physical removal of invasive plants, protecting trees through mulching, monitoring the growth and spread of invasives through photographing and mapping, and providing public education on invasives.

New members are welcome! Just turn up on a Tuesday morning and we will have a job for you!
