<p class=MsoNormal><span style='color:#1F497D'>Hi Hayley. We have a large
phragmites project that we’ll begin to tackle (Thomson property) over the
next 3 years. I was on your website last week & reviewed what’s
there. If you have anything you cold share, even experts, I’d appreciate.
The local conservation authority is involved, not sure if the OIPC would be
interested.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class=MsoNormal>Hi Everyone, <o:p></o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class=MsoNormal>I just wanted to bring your attention to the new
“clean equipment protocol” (attached) that has been developed for
Ontario. I hope it may be of use to you in urban forestry activities. It is
also available for download on our website here: <a
