Description

A survey for slender mouse-ear-cress, a federally listed species at risk, was conducted in southeastern Alberta during mid-June to early July 2008. Slender mouse-ear cress has been assessed as "data-deficient" in Alberta based on a 2004 status report. The survey was undertaken to partly address a recommendation that surveys be done during non-drought years to determine whether significant numbers of additional subpopulations exist in Alberta, and how limited the distribution of slender mouse-ear cress might actually be. Twenty sites were visited and 18 quarter sections were searched over 10 days in mid June to early July. Slender mouse-ear cress was found at six locations, of which two are previously reported and four are new.
