NETLEY-LIBAU MARSH, MANITOBA

The Selkirk Bird Watchers Club and the Netley Marsh Waterfowl Foundation

The Selkirk Bird Watchers Club and the Netley Marsh Waterfowl Foundation are joining together to address the pressures facing the Netley-Libau marsh. As a result of water regulation and the invasion of non-indigineous plant species, such as Purple Loosestrife, the marsh is experiencing a loss of habitat. This habitat is crucial to the southward-migrating waterfowl that pass through this area, sometimes exceeding populations in excess of 100,000.
