Peace Park party of four THE WATERTON BIOSPHERE RESERVE Resources, Research and Reclamation Biosphere reserves are representative examples ofthe world's major ecological systems, each with its unique landscape of earth forms, wildlife and plants. Each also has a unique pattern of human use and adaptation. Fostering human use of the landscape, through sustainable development, while keeping the biosphere intact, is one ofthe aims ofthe 'Man and the Biosphere' system. Plants are perhaps one ofthe most delicate of biological communities in any ecosystem. Waterton Park hosts about 1300 different plant species, each with its own niche and its own susceptibilities to destruction. Overgrazing, erosion, just walking across a mountain meadow, can all destroy the fragile balance in which a plant grows. Competition from introduced species is perhaps one ofthe most difficult problems for a native plant community to deal with. In the late 1980s, Shell Canada began work on its Prairie Bluff wellsite, north ofWaterton Park. As part ofthe work to reclaim the area once the well was in position, the company undertook to use a mixture of native grasses, rather than agronomic or farm-bred species. According to Dr. Douglas Mead, a full-time Shaun Saxton (above left) and friends Cam and Clayton Anderson, environmental advisor to the company and its liason with high school students from Magrath, Alberta, were out for a round government and environmental advocacy groups, the idea °fg°tf°n the Waterton course last weekend- a first time event for seemed simple enough.

Mead says similar studies are being done further north, in the Ram River area, and the Alberta Environment Centre at Vegreville is experimenting with reproducing large quantities of native plant seeds. "They're taking seed from mountain species and growing them in controlled conditions on the prairies, with the eventual aim of re-introducing them to mountain regions, for reclamation projects." • • MT WATERTON - GLACIER Co-operative projects such as these are not only helping scientists understand biotic communities.
