Today is some bad news - MRC is having brain cancer and he is that focused fighting it. As he is the vision for CES, CES is taking a hiatus, and it is likely to be ended into the future. Sustainable economy has grown across Canada - even in Alberta! CES was successful by economy, sustainability, and socially together. Sadly, it has been too small of a firm to thrive without MRC's vision. Happily, many others, from green solar and other energy, to sustainable (no pesticides!) ...agriculture, to green tech, MANY others in Albert are driving into a future! Go Alberta!! Go Canada! Go Homo sapiens across the Earth!! CES is going to put out stories that CES and collaborators had put together over the past 10 years - or longer! We are hoping that we will be able to put out info into Albertan's future sustainable business people! Thank very much Edmonton, Alberta and Canada. We loved you.

Larch Park pond was Clark Ecoscience's first, large urban project, with IBI Group and Melcor! CES worked with design in soil rebuilding, native plant communities, growing plants and IPM! Now there is an award that IBI Group won through the Alberta Association of Landscape Architecture!!!!

Restoring ecosystems are vital to maximizing carbon - and everything else! People are starting to care, and Earth Water and CES are taking time to do so in Edmonton! We think that there is a hectare to start with in Edmonton too! Watch for the news! As always, the people are at Michael's 'office'! Good old Good Stock! @TheEarthGroup @goodstockfoodsltd

CES grew the upland and wetland ponds for a site, and then installed it! Perfecting pollinators was a client's goal!

Wetlands have beautiful flowers - this is Tephroseris palustris, with a common name marsh ragwort! It grows early and has babies out on July!

MRC was missing pretty plants and he showed us some wetland flowers, and all of the cute seeds below, within the moss!

CES collects native seeds to ensure that there are not negative impacts - and we also collect them from our greenhouse! Today, we are taking a step to bring nature to houses so that people can try growing there too, and support a sustainable economy! Michael from CES and Tanya from Bucket Duck met to plan native plant seeds on the CES website, hopefully by November! Please keep an eye on it! Go nature go!... (We were at Good Stock!!! Mmm no-meat!)

BIG QUESTION: CES is wondering if Edmonton-area adults would come to a $100, two hour workshop to grow a native pollinator community for their yard. From it people would take home seeds of native communities to prepare for winter grow next spring? The idea is that people could make their years greener, more beautiful, enhances pollinators, and enhance the world! ... (This is an example of plants from a CES event for kids last summer)

CES just put in a new rain garden for a client - the right wetland flowers, carex and other plants! It will thrive in wet and drought years! 2020 will thrive - go pollinators go! The first two pictures show how the plants were there but that the water lasted, meaning it needed some plants that were wetlands. The rest show that the species were put in in September!

Seeds preping have begun! CES has tiny seeds from Artemesia frigida (prairie sage) and Asclepias ovalifolia (low milkweed)! Both Edmonton, first a short prairie and the second a forest for monarch butterflies!

The winter is coming, so the CES natural greenhouse is closing for 2019! We will people know when it opens in 2020!

Fall is here! CES has been busy putting plants ready for Galium boreale sleeping - otherwise known as senescent! We have Aster conspicuous, Campanula rotundifolia, Cornus canadensis, Galium boreale, Osmorhiza longistylis, Viola canadensis and others!!

Desrochers neighbourhood, driven by the developer MLC Group, has a healthy wetland with plant biodiversity of over 150 species! CES grew the forbs and graminoids, and look at it growing! The seeds are flying, helping us beat the invasive species!
