Leafy Spurge in Manitoba

Stakeholders








In November 1998, stakeholders representing a broad base of interests gathered to discuss the issues and impact of leafy spurge in the Province of Manitoba. From this meeting, a Committee representing a diverse base of public, private and nonprofit agencies was established to describe the problem of leafy spurge in Manitoba and to identify a number of strategies to combat infestations. Rural Development Institute of Brandon University provides coordination and project management services for the LSSG.
