Recreational paddlers are encouraged to ‘Paddle with a Purpose’ this year in waterways across Niagara.

Join the Invasive Species Centre and the NPCA at one of two Paddling Tours to learn how to identify and report EWC observations. Both events will launch from EC Brown public boat launch (River Rd., Fenwick, Pelham, L0S 1C0; see map location here). Paddlers will head west toward Wellandport for ~1.5 km to find the first known population of EWC.
