October 16, 2021 October 16, 2021 Park Advisories/NoticesThe Rondeau Provincial Park pier suffered ice damage in January of 2014. For public safety reasons, the pier remains closed until further notice. The Marsh Tower and boardwalk were severely damaged by ice sheer earlier this year. For public safety reasons, both the Marsh Tower and boardwalk were removed until further notice. Sections of the Marsh Trail were also damaged by high water levels earlier this year causing erosion and instability of the trail itself. The Marsh Trail remains open to park visitors however caution must be taken when traversing these areas of the trail during periods of inclement weather. Options for rehabilitation of the Marsh Tower and the Marsh Trail are currently being explored.

October 16, 2021 October 16, 2021 Park Advisories/NoticesJapanese Stiltgrass, a shade-tolerant invasive annual grass of forests, wetlands, damp fields, lawns, trails and roadside ditches has been identified in Short Hills Provincial Park Please refer to the Canadian Food Inspection Agency (CFIA) website and park kiosks for additional information and pictures. https://inspection.gc.ca/plants/plant-pests-invasive-species/invasive-plants/fact-sheets/japanese-stiltgrass/eng/1331745159167/1331745245097 Why it’s a problem Japanese stiltgrass can form dense stands that outcompete native vegetation. It reduces the regeneration of native woody species and the overall biodiversity of the invaded ecosystem. What it looks like Japanese stiltgrass is a sprawling grass. Stems are 40-120 cm long and 1-1.5 mm thick. The lower portion of the plant is prostrate while the upper portions and flowering branches are erect. It roots at its stem nodes. Leaf blades are pale green, narrowly elliptic, 4–9 cm long and 5–15 mm wide, with a characteristic shiny midrib. Leaf sheaths are shorter than internodes. Inflorescences are terminal racemes, 3-9 cm in length. Where it’s found Native to Asia, this species has naturalized in the eastern U.S. and continues to spread in the northeast. One small population of Japanese stiltgrass has been confirmed and is under official control in southern Ontario. How it spreads Fruits and seeds are dispersed by water and can attach to clothing or animal fur. Bird seed, soil, nursery stock, hay, muddy tires, equipment, vehicles, and footwear are additional means of dispersal. Seeds can persist in the soil for as long as five years. Regulations Japanese stiltgrass is regulated as a pest in Canada under the Plant Protection Act. The species is prohibited and therefore importation and domestic movement of regulated plants and their propagative parts is not permitted. If found, regulatory action can be taken. Similar species Japanese stiltgrass is similar to the North American native white cutgrass (Leersia virginica). However, distinctive traits of Japanese stiltgrass include hairless nodes, smaller leaf blades, purple fall colouration, and a shinier blade midrib. Moreover, Japanese stiltgrass is an annual weed with fibrous roots and a spike-like inflorescence, whereas Leersia species have rhizomes and a panicle type of inflorescence. Japanese stiltgrass may also be mistaken for another North American native, deertongue panicgrass (Dichanthelium clandestinum), as well as for small carpetgrass (Arthraxon hispidus). What to do about it Please contact your local CFIA office if you think you have found Japanese stiltgrass or other regulated invasive plants. The CFIA will follow-up to determine if further action is needed. *Invasive plants are plant species that can be harmful when introduced into new areas. These species can invade agricultural and natural areas, causing serious damage to Canada's economy and environment. To find out more, visit www.inspection.gc.ca/invasive or contact CFIA’s Invasive Alien Species and Domestic Programs section at cfia.ias-eee.acia@canada.ca. To find your area or regional CFIA office, visit http://www.inspection.gc.ca/about-the-cfia/offices/eng/1313255382836/1313256130232 Short Hills Provincial Park will be closed to the public for a First Nation Deer Harvest on October 13 and 27, November 9 and 20, and December 1 and 11, 2021. Each harvest day will begin one half-hour before sunrise and end one half-hour after sunset. The park will be closed the morning after each harvest for maintenance until noon. Ontario respects Aboriginal and treaty rights, as recognized and affirmed under the Constitution Act, 1982, and is committed to meeting the province's constitutional and other obligations regarding First Nation and Métis people. First Nation harvesters will use archery equipment and follow safety protocols. For public safety, ministry staff will be monitoring access points to make the public aware of the temporary closures. For more information about the harvest call Greg Wilson, Ontario Parks Southwest Zone Manager, at 519-873-4616.

October 16, 2021 Park Advisories/NoticesWoodland Caribou PP - Re-Opening Notice As you are aware, we have been using a staged approach to reopening Woodland Caribou Provincial Park. Effective as of today, September 16, we are open! Please make sure you read the information below regarding access points closures, recreational paddling opportunities, and continued requirements for NOTAMS. Commercial and Private Outposts\Cabins: • All fly-in access MUST be coordinated through Aviation, Fire, Flood, Emergency, Services (AFFES) by contacting 727-2055 as there are currently still NOTAMs in place. • AFFES must be contacted prior to any departure for the park. Recreational Paddlers: The park is now open for recreational paddling, but there are a few restrictions. Due to the large active fires within the park, there are some closures and extra considerations you’ll need to make while trip planning. Please remember these fires are NOT out. Anyone visiting the park must plan a trip that does not enter the perimeter of the fires. You can view the perimeters at www.ontario.ca/forestfires. We’ve provided some suggested routes, but as long as you’re not entering a 2021 burn, you can explore as you please. There are still some closures in effect: - Johnson Access Point - Onnie Access Point - Paddling Access: Garner, Jan, Eagle and Talon Entry will no longer be on a case by case basis – you will be able to purchase your permits the usual way – through the online registration system or the self serve kiosk in Red Lake. Please ensure that your trip route is as specific as possible to assist staff with understanding where paddlers are on the landscape. Entry into the park is at your own risk. You must bring a communication device with you and have a method of evacuation should it be needed. SPOT-SOS is not an exit strategy – it is a last resort. Ensure someone knows your route – the WCPP office can be your contact if required. DO NOT ENTER FIRE PERIMETERS AT THIS TIME. The conditions of trails and campsites within the burn perimeter are unknown at this time. Know where you are on a map so you understand your relationship to the fires. Do not explore towards an active fire to “get a closer look”. Select a safe campsite if travelling near the fire perimeter – use the lake as a natural boundary between you and the burn. Always ensure you are checking tree roots as they may be compromised by the burn and pose a safety hazard. Route Options: - Bunny Loop - Leano – Killburn loop - Leano – Bunny – Jake – Eastern end of Paull – Elephant Head – Bunny – Leano - Fly In: Barclay/Sabourin – Lund - Dunstan – Simeon – Larus – Murdock – Knox – Lund - Donald – Haggart River – Carroll - Bulging – Haggart River – Carroll If you have any questions please contact Lori Skitt at 807-727-2835. Alternatively you may contact Tia Wilson, Assistant Park Superintendent at 807-252-0174.
