The 2025 Workshop is happening on May 24th in Red Deer, Alberta! Some of this year’s workshop “Plants through Time” will highlight how plants, habitats, conservation and people’s knowledge have evolved through time, from decades to thousands of years. Our Keynote Speaker will be Jenny L. McCune with the University of Lethbridge (http://jlmccune.weebly.com/) speaking on Plants through Time: From the Distant Past to the Invisible Present. She will be discussing her experiences studying plant communities, highlighting the challenges and intrigue involved in understanding the short-term and long-term history of plants, and discuss these challenges to plant conservation in Canada. Below is the preliminary list of speakers, a full schedule will be released soon. There will be a banquet dinner after the workshop and a short field trip the morning of May 25 to Morris Flewwelling Ranch, located in the Pine Lake Moraine approximately 30 minutes drive southeast of Red Deer.
