Description
Porsild's bryum is a disjunct moss found in British Columbia, Alberta, Newfoundland and Nunavut. In Alberta, where it is listed as Endangered, it is found in 12 small subpopulations in the Rockies from Kananaskis to Willmore Wilderness Park. The goal of this recovery plan is to ensure long-term persistence of all current natural populations of Porsild's bryum, and maintain population size at all sites within its Alberta range. The plan provides background information on Porsild's bryum, describes the threats facing the species, outlines proposed strategies to address these threats, and presents an action plan that lists priority actions required to maintain and restore the species.
