During the summer, our field crews reside close to their work areas in Eastern Alberta. This area is extremely dry and the fire risk is always high. For this reason, our Trucks and ATVs are always equipped with fire fighting equipment.

This year in September during the peak of the dry season, some of our staff in the area noticed smoke in the distance. They followed the smoke and were the first on scene at a wildfire just north of the town of Empress. Our staff with their equipment were able to minimize the growth of the fire until fire crews arrived. Even then, our staff continued to assist for the remainder of the afternoon as our ATV’s allowed access into places the fire trucks could not go. The blaze was under control later in the day.

This was an opportunity to put our emergency response skills and firefighting training to the test. We are very proud of our staff for their efforts in controlling this fire and for the positive relationships they are developing with the communities that host us during our field season. We hope to continue to build this relationship in the future. Great work.

We have been learning about the Ord's Kangaroo Rat as we prepare for our 2022 field season. Protecting endangered species is important to us and to our mission as environmental professionals. This is a neat video about the species and their population in Alberta. Check it out.

Featured Flora: Ball Cactus or Pincushion Cactus (Escobaria vivipara) (aka Coryphantha vivipara or Mamillaria vivipara)

Only a few species in Alberta represent the Cactus family and this showy, native cactus is one of them. The Ball Cactus (aka Pincushion Cactus) is a succulent, spiny plant that can be found in the dry prairie grasslands of southeastern Alberta. The flowers are pink-purplish red and bloom from July to August. Excluding the spines, the plant is entirely edible. The raw flowers make a nice addition to salads and the stems can be eaten raw or cooked. The small many-seeded berry produced at the end of the season is also edible at maturity.
