The project will be of benefit to all of us by helping to preserve a beautiful part of our natural heritage. The results will be of interest to both professional and amateur botanists. Botany and Entomology Departments at the Manitoba Museum of Man and Nature and the University of Manitoba have expressed interest in the results of this study. This is a huge project for any volunteer group to undertake. It requires many hours of field work under difficult conditions during the summer months.
Travel expenses are high.
Because of the complex nature of this project we may have to extend it to six years. We need help with this interesting project, and would welcome student volunteers and others with an interest in plants to join us. Financial donations from those who cannot work in the field would be much appreciated. If you would like to see this unusual area for yourself, join us on our field trips this spring and summer.
