U of R Restoration

Image of the U of R Restoration Project We will be using this seed to restore areas in the Regina Plain Landscape back to native prairie. The first restoration will be 12 acres within the city of Regina. The location of the restoration is on University of Regina property, west of Highway #1, south of Wascana Creek, and north of the Wascana Bicycle Trail which also serves as part of the Trans-Canada Trail. First, herbicide treatment was used to remove exotic vegetation. In October 2003, the site was seeded with 80 native prairie species. We'll keep you updated on what comes up!.

To the top-right is the restoration site after being treated for exotic vegetation. The picture was taken from the south part of the restoration site and looks over Wascana Lake. The Saskatchewan Science Centre is in the background.



« When you walk along the Trans-Canada Trail next to the restoration site, you can see this sign explaining what's going on.
