Spring is coming, and as the green springs up all around us, you may see some plants (and even animals) that you know aren't supposed to be there.

Invasive species in the province can be reported by calling the toll-free Invading Species Hotline at 1-800-563-7711, submitting sightings online via EDDMapS Ontario, or using the iNaturalist Invasive Species Ontario project. 

For specific sightings like wild pigs, email wildpigs@ontario.ca or call 1-833-933-2355.
