WEBINAR – Choosing flower species for restoration of beneficial insect biodiversity: community-level flower preferences and flower visiting insect responses to native vs. non-native flowers

This presentation builds on insights from Renny Grilz’s Nuffield Canada Agricultural Scholarship project, which explores native seed producer networks and seedbanking in Europe and North America. Meewasin Valley Authority is investigating the potential to establish a native plant seedbank in Saskatoon, Saskatchewan to support prairie conservation and restoration in Western Canada.

Event Cancellation

How to Use the Range Plant Community Guides and Recovery Strategies

Unfortunately with a number of late cancellations for the Range Plant Community Guides & Recovery Strategies Workshop scheduled for September 13th, 2023 we’ve had to make the tough decision to cancel the workshop for this fall due to insufficient registrations for a cost recovery event.  We will be offering the same workshop in conjunction with the CLRA Conference in March 2024.  The GRF Mailing list will receive notice/announcements about the event as details become available.

We are still proceeding as planned with the Grassland Assessment Classroom & Hands on Field Training on September 14th at the Cassils Hall/Antelope Creek Ranch.

Apologies for any inconvenience and appreciate your understanding.
