The Growing Season, Oct. 16, 2021 - Wetlands


Listen Later

Have you ever wondered why?

Why are Ontario's conservation areas nestled in low areas of property surrounded by wetlands?   That is precisely what Jack, Lynne and Matt McFarland are set to focus on in this weeks episode of The Growing Season.

Wetlands, their purpose and the plants that help out are all touched on.  Further, the plants that humanity has accidentally introduced into these ecosystems that are creating issues is also a fundamental part of the conversation.

Anne-Marie McFarland (Jack's Sister) joins the show to chat about her memories of Hurricane Hazel and the storm's effect on how Toronto dealt and continues to deal with flood plains.
