Check out our past webinar about invasive species in Native Prairie by the Government of Saskatchewan Weed Management Specialist – Clark Brenzil: youtu.be/iK1C6mpVp54?si… #invasiveweeds #yqr #yxe #KeepSaskWild #SaskBeef #AgMoreThanEver Image: grainews.ca/features/herbi…

Invasive Weeds are an important topic at our Native Prairie Restoration/Reclamation Workshops. Check out this recording for THREE awesome speakers of a our past Invasives Session: youtu.be/GzO8tSc1vL0?si… #invasiveweeds #KeepSaskWild #SaskBeef #AgMoreThanEver #SaskLife #CanadianAg

The invasive plant, Hoary Alyssum is toxic to horses. It can cause swelling, depression and diarrhea in horses that have consumed it through fresh or dry hay. Image: Flickr Creative Commons/Andreas Rockstein #invasiveweeds #SaskParks #SaskBeef #AgMoreThanEver #CanadianAg

Look for the weed, Hoary Alyssum in dry and gravelly soils where at 50-80cm high, it will likely be standing out compared to all the rest. Image: Flickr Creative Commons/Andreas Rockstein #invasiveweeds #SaskParks #rangeninja #yqr #yxe

Many invasive species in Saskatchewan start in gardens before spreading into the natural environment or agricultural fields. Be sure not to grow invasive plants in your garden! Image: Flickr Creative Commons/Ellen MacDonald #invasiveweeds #SaskParks #yqr #yxe #KeepSaskWild

The small white flowers of Hoary Alyssum are only 4-6mm. These delicate flowers bloom in late summer or early fall and are deceptive as to how dangerous this invasive species really is! Image: Flickr Creative Commons/ hedera.baltica #invasiveweeds #SaskParks #KeepSaskWild

If you come across the noxious weed, Hoary Alyssum, hand pulling is an effective way to get rid of it. However be sure to dispose of it in landfill bound garbage bags or burn it to prevent further spread. Image: Flickr Creative Commons/Joshua Mayer #invasiveweeds #KeepSaskWild

Invasive species impact the environment, wildlife, agricultural fields & livestock. We all have a responsibility to prevent the spread and to report sightings! Report invasive species on iNaturalist, or the Ag Knowledge Centre at 1-866-457-2377 FlickrCreativeCommons/Matt Lavin

The Monarch Butterfly is one of the most well-known butterflies! Many schools use this species to teach youth about biology and to appreciate nature! Follow us this week to learn about this iconic & whimsical critter! #SARSweetTweet #prairie FlickrCreativeCommons/ Pauline Horn

Adult Monarch Butterflies have a wingspan of 93-105mm (or about 4inches). These large butterflies have orange wings are outline by a black border with two, characteristic white spots. They weigh less then 1gram! #SARSweetTweet Image: Flickr Creative Commons/ Arthur T. LaBar

Can you tell the difference between these two species? This similarity is called mimicry. Pictured: A Monarch Butterfly and its lookalike, a Viceroy. #SARSweetTweet #prairies Images: FlickrCreativeCommons/ Judy Gallagher (Monarch) FlickrCreativeCommons/ Vicki DeLoach (Viceroy)

Monarch caterpillars have unique colours! They are white, yellow and black-banded! In their two weeks of life, these caterpillars grow 2000x their size! #SARSweetTweet #pcapprairie #nativeprairie #naturesask #yqr #yxe #rangeninja Image: Flickr Creative Commons/Judy Gallagher
