Botany Alberta

Botany Alberta is our annual, in-person field trip to a site of ecological or botanical significance in Alberta. We often centre this excursion around a local campsite, making it a weekend getaway with multiple field trip options. The goal of the event is to curate a species list for the area, contributing valuable data to relevant managers and the Alberta Conservation Information Management System (ACIMS).
