Some of these plots have been in place since the 1940s and help biologists to determine the relationship between the plants and wild beasties that call the park home. #MyJasper #CanadianRockies<br/> <img src="https://image.nostr.build/f0764d88fff5e4f305f1e334cb9d0fa2aa2ed8fef7ef4305a1841732c954f355.jpg#m=image%2Fjpeg&amp;dim=1920x1440&amp;blurhash=%23YDv%2Bso%23jXj%5DjXadjYR*f6yGIVn%23R-oIj%3Fj%3Fayax_4RkaeR%2BofoebFj%5Bayxtj%3Ft7WEoeoLjuWVa%23s%2BWBjsRkkCj%40a%23j%5BfkM%7Bt6ofRkofofbHj%5Ba%7DRloes%2Ba%23WCoKjsa%7Bj%5B&amp;x=3c38f26f3ee5d834fb8ece59e3af702b0ecc430ef47d91783b1d3ad3794b2dae"> 2024-02-14T15:16:37+01:00
