Wanuskewin Grassland Restoration and Invasive Species Control
|
|
Synopsis:
|
|
The primary purpose of this project is to restore, to an ecologically functional state, a roughly two (2) US acre parcel of degraded moist-mixed, loamy grassland habitat immediately adjacent to Wanuskewin Heritage Park’s visitor center and publically accessible playground.

iii. Seed/plant native species characteristic of moist-mixed, loamy grassland communities capable of further resilience to invasion of undesirable species and eventual self-organization. Proposals that include
