Native Plant Solutions currently operates with five full-time and one part-time staff person in its Winnipeg office, but Wark hopes to open up offices in other Canadian centres as word gets out and demand grows. The company also offers restoration for industrial sites.

Wark knows there will eventually be competition from other companies, but few can match the expertise of his NPS crew of Gabruch, Penner, Albert Lohmer, Glen Koblun and Sandra Hall, who collectively have been restoring natural habitats for decades.

“We’ve got to keep expanding the horizons,” he says of DUC’s entrepreneurial venture Native Plant Solutions. “The minute you sit back and say you’ve arrived is the minute you slide backwards.”
