Rare Plant Rescue
Rare Plant Rescue (RPR) is a voluntary stewardship program for landowners with rare plants or rare plant habitat.
Launched in 2002, RPR aims to conserve rare plant habitat by building strong, respectful relationships with landowners and providing them with the information they need to make informed stewardship decisions. It is modeled after Nature Saskatchewan’s successful Operation Burrowing Owl program.
Rural landowners with habitat supporting endangered and threatened plant species are informed of this natural heritage and invited to sign a voluntary stewardship agreement. RPR staff conduct rare plant surveys on participants’ land, and return periodically to monitor the status of any plant species at risk occurrences that are found.
