Native Plant Society of Saskatchewan Field Tour
June 22-23, 2013 - Southwest Corner
This tour will explore the fescue grasslands of the West Block of
Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park, SK with a mission: to find
historical occurrences of two rare plant species - cut-leaved alumroot
(Heuchera parvifolia var. dissecta) and woolly gromwell (Lithospermum
ruderale). These species have only been found in two locations in
Saskatchewan and (where we will be looking) haven't been seen in over 30
years. We will try to relocate these species and will also collect
information to submit to the Conservation Data Centre. Even if we don't
find these species, we will be in one of the most scenic areas of the
province and will surely find many interesting plants flowering. Due to
its location and elevation, Cypress Hills contains plant species and
habitat types found nowhere else in Saskatchewan.
June 22-23, 2013 - Southwest corner

July 13-14, 2013 - Southeast corner
