In preparation for the WHT Mead Animal Science Centre renovation, our Landscape and Horticulture Sustainability (LHS) department relocated a Pinus flexilis (Limber Pine), an endangered species in Alberta. They’ll continue to take inventory of the surrounding landscape and catalogue what is there to ensure any high-value species can be protected and/or relocated. Afterward, the remainder of the landscape will be removed to accommodate the renovation. However, by capturing inf...ormation about what is currently available, we can ensure that it is equitably replaced in the new landscape or compensated in other areas on campus. LHS will observe a two for one ratio; two trees planted for every tree removed. This ensures we not only preserve existing canopy coverage ratios on campus; we can slowly increase the coverage ratio over time. On Oct. 4 and 5, 12 environmental sciences students and two instructors relocated numerous plants from the native garden to the Quad to support LHS’ efforts. The aim is to create a new garden in the Quad. The native garden was built by students 10 years ago. Students picked the species and continually added to the garden yearly for educational purposes and plant collections.
