Vision and Mission

I am working on website content, these are the missions and visions for the business project that I am working on. Let me know what you think.

Mission:
To salvage the flora from functioning ecosystems slated for development. To create an opportunity for individuals, businesses, schools and governments to adopt these precious pieces of biodiversity for their yards and gardens.

Vision:
To create a green business/project that will eventually work itself out of business through public education and inspiration - changing the way we value the world. Saskatchewan is quickly chasing after the dream of becomming the next Alberta. The goal of this project is to salvage the ecosystems that are lost on these short lived pursuits, by setting up an adoption program for the biodiversity (trees, shrubs, flowers, grasses, lichens, mosses living together in community) that would otherwise be lost

Education and Moving Forward in Good Directions

There are many people in Saskatchewan who work endlessly toward the raising of ecological consciousness and literacy at home and around the world. Most of these people have been influenced in some way by the indiginous belief systems and traditional ways of being that are shared through stories, art, and experiences in nature. At our University in Saskatoon there is a group of people in the Department of Education that deeply believe in and act upon an understanding that children need nature in order to develope a healthy sense of self and the world. They are encouraging students in the department to learn about our habitats, how to protect them, and how to create a magical experience for children that includes beauty, hope and an understanding of the needs and interdependance between ourselves and the local flora and fauna: Ecological Literacy. The Prairie Habitat Garden at the College of Education is now helping out with the Ecological Salvage effort. Here is a link to their project: http://http//www.usask.ca/education/prairiehabitatgarden/



It will be a bit of an experiment to see if all the Western Red Lilies will survive the transplants. There are hundreds that the government is plowing through for the highway project. This would be illegal for anyone else, and many people are concerned about the lilies that would disappear if we weren't trying to salvage them. There should be a mandatory recovery and salvage effort lead by the government in regard to protected species and species diversity. There is no such effort at this time. But I am hopefull that there will be new efforts made in the near future.

If you are interested in Adopting Lilies or any other plants contact me @ 380-5584. I supply plants to people within 200km of Duck Lake, Sk. Though some exceptions could be made.
