Brandon residents voiced their concerns with a proposed city development plan for a section of land that is home to the endangered Small White Lady’s Slipper Orchid.
WINNIPEG A section of land in Brandon slated to be set aside to preserve an endangered orchid that takes more than a decade to grow was accidentally tilled by a neighbouring property owner. The White Lady’s Slipper Orchid, officially known as Cypripedium Candidum, is among Manitoba s species at risk. Manitoba Conservation Data Centre says the orchid is considered very rare, and estimates it takes at least 12 years to reach maturity. The City of Brandon said council recently voted to donate about five acres of city land to a proposed 60-acre area to be owned and operated by The Nature Conservancy of Canada to preserve the White Lady’s Slipper Orchid.
