Description

Western spiderwort is listed as Threatened nationally and has been recommended for Endangered status provincially. In 2004, the Alberta Western Spiderwort Recovery Team created a maintenance and recovery plan for western spiderwort in Alberta. In addition to identifying several knowledge gaps in various aspects of biology of the species, the plan calls for an annual population inventory of western spiderwort. The objective of this study was to complete a population inventory for the year 2005 using a method that could be repeated in future studies. Limited information on habitat requirements was also provided.
