We recently become aware that the Nature Conservancy (TNC) is considering

discontinuing its long-term experimental study of prairie management options specifically

designed to document the impacts of selected common management practices on the rare

Western Prairie Fringed Orchid (incidentally our FMSNA logo) at Pembina Trail Preserve, a dedicated SNA.

WPFO is state endangered, federally threatened, and listed as endangered in both Canada, and the IUCN Red Book.
