Welcome
to the Virtual Herbarium of Plants at Risk in Saskatchewan: A Natural Heritage
The Virtual Herbarium of Plants at Risk
in Saskatchewan: A Natural Heritage is an educational Website prepared by
the personnel of the SASK Herbarium. The goal is to contribute to public
awareness regarding the crucial problem of the decline of global biodiversity.
This site contains information about the native rare plants of the Province
of Saskatchewan. It is divided into three sections: Researcher, Enthusiast
(amateur), and Youth (children). We invite you to learn about the most important
aspects of the endangered plants of Saskatchewan, such as taxonomy, distinguishing
features, distribution, habitat, rarity ranks and ranking systems, among
others. The information in this Website has been designed to be readily
available for personal or public non-commercial use. We hope you enjoy this
website featuring the rare plants and biodiversity of Saskatchewan. |
