    Events:

    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.
