Loosestrife
Beetles on the Move
Left: Back in 1997, Lakehead Conservation made its first release of Galerucella beetles that feed only on purple loosestrife. This year, LRCA staff received four cases of beetles through a provincially funded program. The beetles were released at three sites close to the Kam River. They are expected to disperse to other patches of loosestrife over the next few years. LRCA summer staff employee Franz Seibel (left) releases beetle larvae at a site on the Kam River. |
