Adopt-A-Plant Alberta by Kelley Joan Kissner Pdf
The Adopt-a-Plant Alberta program was initiated in 2005 to help address the shortage of information on population size and occurrences of most rare plants and lichens in Alberta. This information is needed to carry out provincial detailed status assessments of species. The idea and goal behind the program is to train volunteer plant enthusiasts in collecting the information by searching for new locations and monitoring known sites of at risk plants and lichens. The program has since then expanded the locations and recovery actions in contributing to conservation of native plants and lichens in Alberta, as well as enhancing volunteers' knowledge and experience. This program summary provides the methods used, and the results produced from the process.--Includes text from document.
