Description

The purpose of this project is to locate, document and map the occurrences of invasive plants in Dinosaur Provincial park. This protected area was selected to extend the pilot inventory to a protected area with climate, landform and disturbance conditions widely different from those affecting areas previously studied, namely Police Outpost and Beauvais Lake parks. Target invasive plant species to be inventoried will include those threatening rare plants and those commonly associated with human caused disturbances. As before, local site managers may indicate additional target species of special concern for park management. The project will serve to test and possibly modify or improve methodology developed for the two previously inventoried areas.
