Our mandate is to support conservation and restoration projects, ecological biodiversity initiatives and education.  Since 1992 we've released Neogalerucella spp. beetles (formerly of the genus Galerucella) at more than 500 locations across Ontario.  We have worked with federal, provincial and municipal agencies, academic institutions, conservation organizations and private landowners to provide professional services and sound consultation.

At Ontario Beetles we will:

- help you develop and implement management options for invasive purple loosestrife
- supply you with biological control agents
- provide you with monitoring support, to track post-release changes in both beetle and plant populations

 Contact us today for more information or to start a discussion.
