New video - cattail harvesting for bioenergy production and nutrient capture

Greetings Everyone:

A new video provides a step-by-step description of the research and pilot testing of cattail harvesting for bioenergy production and nutrient capture at Netley-Libau Marsh at the south end of Lake Winnipeg, Canada, by the International Institute for Sustainable Development (IISD) and its partners, the University of Manitoba and Ducks Unlimited Canada. The five-minute video was produced by two Red River College (RRC) interns hosted by IISD in March and April, 2011.
