International Day of Plant Health is May 12

May 12 marks the International Day of Plant Health, and the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) is reminding everyone of their role in safeguarding agriculture, forests, and the environment in Canada.

As the weather warms and Canadians are out enjoying local parks, campgrounds, and backyard barbeques, the CFIA is asking you not to move firewood, and report any sightings of invasive species.

 Here are some of the ways you can help prevent the spread of invasive species:

  • -  Learn about invasive species in your area and how to recognize them.
  • -  Let your family, friends and neighbours know about the importance of plant health and tell them about the International Day of Plant Health
