We\u2019re putting together what we\u2019re calling propagation and establishment profiles for each of the species we\u2019re working with.  So as we get the information we put together a profile for that species and those will be handed over to everyone involved in trying to reclaim a site. So from the nurseries trying to grow these plants  to the operations people who actually have go out and  harvest the seeds and  put them in the ground.  And they will have that information to go on  so that  they don\u2019t have to start looking  from scratch each time they want to look at a different species.  <\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nAnn Smreciu\u2019s work with Alberta\u2019s native species shows that once established, they will take dominance over weeds.\n<\/p>\n<p> <em><br \/>\nThanks today to <b>Syncrude Canada\n<\/p>\n<p>\nLearn more at InnovationAnthology.com<\/em>\n<\/p>\n<p>\nI&#8217;M CHERYL CROUCHER <\/b>\n<\/p>\n<h2>Guest<\/h2>\n<h3> , <\/h3>\n<h4>, , , , <\/h4>\n<h2>Sponsor<\/h2>\n<h3><a href=\"\"><\/a><\/h3>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/innovationanthology.com\/uploads\/\" \/><\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p><strong>Program Date:<\/strong>\u00a02009-09-01<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The plant research of <b>Ann Smreciu<\/b> is helping <b>oil sands<\/b> companies like Syncrude restore forest landscapes destroyed by mining.
