IN MEMORIUM:
ANPC would like to extend our sincere condolences to Leslie Monteleone’s family for their recent loss. Leslie was also a part of the ANPC family and a vital part as she helped to shape the organization in a myriad of ways. Leslie inspired others to not only love the natural environment but to volunteer their time in its conservation. Please click on
this link to view our remembrance of her.
Leslie you will be missed!

Our annual Workshop will be held in-person this year at the Cattail Crossing Golf and Winter Club in Sturgeon County, AB (https://www.cattailcrossing.ca/ ). The date is Saturday, April 22, 2022, with the theme “How Plants Inspire Us”

More information will be posted here as it becomes available.

Puzzling Pairs through the years:

Since 1988, the Alberta Native Plant Council newsletter IRIS has brought to the ANPC membership articles on all things native plant-related. Periodically, a series called “Puzzling Pairs” (or the occasional “Tricky Trio”) has been published to help the plant observer to sort between similar species. Using our webpage “Puzzling Pairs” (updated January 22, 2023), you will be guided to the applicable issues of IRIS for some help to differentiate sets of puzzling (or tricky) species.

Rare Plant Profiles. Rare plants are an important part of Alberta’s biodiversity. They require special care because they exist in low numbers, live in restricted habitats, or may be threatened by such things as habitat destruction, invasive species, or climate change. The following rare plant profiles will focus on those plant species that are being watched or tracked in Alberta due to their sensitive nature. Read about Rorippa curvipes (Blunt-leaved watercress) here

Acknowledging Land and People: We acknowledge that what we call Alberta is the traditional and ancestral territory of many peoples, presently those people of Treaties 6, 7, and 8. Namely: the Blackfoot Confederancy–Kainai, Piikani, and Siksika as well as people from the Cree, Dene, Saulteaux Nakota, Sioux, Stoney, Nakoda, and the Tsuu T’ina Nations. We acknowledge as well the members of other indigenous nations in Alberta which include the Métis Nation of Alberta and the Métis Settlements.
