The Boreal Discovery Centre wants to make it easier for residents to identify local plants.
They are looking at developing a Plant Identification Guide. The guide would have pictures or drawings as well as information about the plant, including potential uses such as medicinal or food properties.
They are currently raising money through a Go Fund Me page, to hire experts and obtain materials for the project. Member Penny Byer says they have also applied for a grant through the Canada 150 Community Infrastructure Program.
