Agricultural Sector Survey

Have weeds or pests been spreading on your property? We want to learn more about how we can help!

The Invasive Species Centre is a not-for-profit organization that aims to prevent and manage species that harm the environment, economy, or society. We specifically focus on invasive species like Japanese beetles, box tree moth, spongy moth, buckthorn, phragmites, and wild parsnip. These types of species can have negative impacts to the agricultural sector, reducing crop yields, foraging space, property values, etc.

The goal of this survey is to learn more about the species impacting agriculture in Ontario. The results of this anonymous survey will be used to develop new training tools and free resources to support you more.

This survey was created in partnership with the Greenbelt Foundation, which is a charitable organization solely dedicated to ensuring the Greenbelt remains permanent, protected, and prosperous.
