Plant Stewardship at Oshawa Second Marsh and the McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve

Friends of Second Marsh’s stewardship intentions are focussed on Oshawa Second Marsh and
McLaughlin Bay Wildlife Reserve. These unique natural areas are a biodiverse web of plants, animals and
land features. It is our intention that our stewardship actions will maintain, restore and improve the
natural habitats that support this biodiversity and heal the land so the wildlife habitats there can
become the best natural areas they can be. Plant stewardship is one way to achieve our stewardship
intentions. This can include managing plant species that affect biodiversity and the value of natural
habitats to all forms of life. Friends of Second Marsh plant stewardship actions: minimize and reduce
dominant introduced plant spread, increase and restore habitats for biodiverse preferred plant species
and, above all, respect nature by acting with thoughtful intent using methods that cause the least
disruption to the natural environment.
