Welcome to Weird Plant Wednesday, a series of field notes about some of the bizarre plants of Alberta's boreal wetlands – plants that AJMers are privileged to see during summer field work in northern Alberta!

There's only one logical place to start this series, and it's the plants that literally help create Alberta's fens and bogs: peat mosses (genus Sphagnum).

At AJM, we are continually enhancing the value we offer clients by strengthening the breadth and integration of our service offerings. In addition to our core environmental consulting capabilities - including wetland, wildlife, aquatic, vegetation, regulatory, and geospatial services - we have recently added complementary engineering design and modelling services to our Consulting Services.

These capabilities are delivered through a curated network of trusted engineering and technical partners, enabling seamless collaboration that bridges environmental insight with engineering rigour.

Dear Clients, Partners, Friends, and Other Suckers Who Opened This Email,

2025…What a year! We laughed, then cried, then laughed a bit more, and then ugly cried. After pulling ourselves together to reflect on the year, it truly was another one for the books. So, even though you really don't want to hear about it, we're going to start blabbering. You've already made it through four sentences (almost five!), so you're pretty much committed now. Buckle up!
