Webinar – The Function Of Plant-plant Interactions In The Community Dynamics Of A Native Grassland: Insights And Opportunities For Restoration Planning

WEBINAR – The Function Of Plant-plant Interactions In The Community Dynamics Of A Native Grassland: Insights And Opportunities For Restoration Planning Summary Plant-plant interactions are considered an important driver of community dynamics. Historically, competition was emphasized, leading to the expectation that plants living together result in competitive exclusion and the dominance of a few species.

Webinar – Herbicide Usage In Invasive Non-native Plant Management: Patterns Of Use, Efficacy And Non-target Effects

WEBINAR – Herbicide Usage In Invasive Non-native Plant Management: Patterns Of Use, Efficacy And Non-target Effects Abstract Invasive non-native plants can cause considerable environmental damage by replacing native species and altering ecosystem processes. Managers frequently respond to this threat by spraying herbicides, which is relatively inexpensive and requires less human labor than other control options.

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.

WEBINAR – Recovery Strategies for Industrial Development in the Dry Mixedgrass Natural Subregion

The Recovery Strategies for Industrial Development in Native Grasslands project is a multi-stakeholder initiative to provide guidance to minimize future impacts, and promote effective reclamation/restoration of past and future disturbances in native grasslands. The purpose of the manuals is to set projects up for success and to provide expectations and understanding of what is required to reach the outcome of restoration over time.

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.
