<DIV>Hi Andy,</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>If you are looking for natural stands best bet is to look in the Qu'Appele Valley which stretches across Saskatchewan. Specifically I would focus in on the chain lakes around Fort Qu'Appelle.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hope that helps.</DIV>

<P class=MsoNormal>Hello everyone!<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>My name is Andi Noakes and I am a graduate student from the University of Notre Dame in Indiana, U.S. I am coming to Alberta and Saskatchewan in June to look for natural green ash stands, but I am hoping to find some before I leave so that I am not wandering around aimlessly. These provinces are at the edge of this tree’s range, but I feel strongly that there are some natural stands in the Edmonton area and hopefully some in SK as well.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Please feel free to email or call me if you know where I might be able to find some. I would like to get about 30 individual samples per location, but I am willing to take much less, especially at the edge of the range.<o:p></o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal><o:p> </o:p></P>
<P class=MsoNormal>Thank you all for your help!<o:p></o:p></P>
