Lambton Shores is getting $50,000 from the Ontario government to combat invasive phragmites in the Wood Drive Coastal Wetland in Lake Huron.
It's part of a $1.9-million investment into 44 community-based projects across the province.
Lambton Shores Mayor Bill Weber said the money will be put to good use, noting phragmites are an ongoing problem in the area.
"It effects other plants, the native species," said Weber. "It effects wildlife, it gets so thick that turtles can't get into the areas where they could before. So, it is quite invasive."
Weber commends the Lambton Shores Phragmites Community Group for all of its hard work in dealing with the issue.
"They do good work across the entire community with education and supporting others that are working on small spots before they get big."
Meanwhile, the St. Clair Region Conservation Authority has been granted $50,000 to restore a boardwalk in the Coldstream Conservation Area.
