Acknowledgements The City of Calgary Natural Areas Department This department gave me my original base maps, and also supplied the digital maps that I used for this project. Mike Harrison Mike gave me valuable information on brome, and brome management issues and solutions. He also facilitated getting me the digital maps and information layers. Mrs. Martin Mrs. Martin was my grade 8 science teacher. She was the one who got me involved in science fairs in the first place. Mrs. Martin also lent me a trifold for the Calgary Youth Science Fair, and gave me some resources on setting up my project. Mrs. Martin has given me amazing ongoing support throughout the years. Family Thank you to all my family for giving me input, for always lending a helping hand to pull weeds (even thistles), for suggesting colors for my maps, and for making sure I tried my best. Mother Well, I couldn’t have done this without your constant encouragement and support. Thanks for editing my work, getting me interviews, gluing, giving ideas, sharing information… The list goes on and on…Thanks, Mom!
