In March 2026, ANPC provided information to the Municipal District of Taber, who are considering a proposal to convert approximately 3,100 acres of native grassland into irrigated cropland. Although the project was initially approved by a narrow 4-3 council vote in September 2025, a newly elected council paused the development in late 2025 to evaluate the ecological and economic risks of conversion. ANPC’s letter to the MD provides critical information about rare plant species, including Species At Risk, documented within the project footprint.
