As many naturalist know who come out to the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area and to George Genereux Urban Regional Park there are goldenrods (Solidago.) The species of goldenrods overlap the two parks, and yet there are different species of goldenrods in each park as the native plants combined with the different and varied combination of deciduous and evergreen plantings giving rise to different microbiomes as you progress through the afforestation area greenspaces.
This species at risk- Goldenrod Gall Fly (Eurosta solidaginis) – was discovered through citizen science on the iNaturalist app.
In this YouTube, John Reynolds, Chair of Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada COSEWIC as well as Ecology Professor at Simon Fraser University speaks to the habitats and the species at risk wildlife including Amphibians and Reptiles; Arthropods; Birds; Freshwater Fishes; Marine Fishes; Marine Mammals; Molluscs; Mosses and Lichens; Terrestrial Mammals; Vascular Plants. the Canadian Wildlife Federation recognizes the value of iNaturalist to inform the assessment and conservation of endangered species in Canada; iNaturalist Webinar Series: How citizen science provides key data for Endangered Species
