As part of grant funding from Environment and Climate Change Canada’s Habitat Stewardship Program, Pollinator Partnership Canada is planning on collecting seeds around Yellowknife and training volunteers at a workshop to collect seeds from common native plants. The target plant species include Prickly Rose, Shrubby Cinquefoil, Fireweed, Labrador Tea, and Western Sticky Goldenrod. These species were chosen because they support at-risk bumble bees and other pollinators. The future goal of this project is to create a free native seed library to help with future conservation work and pollinator gardening around Yellowknife.
