I have found these and sent them on to them, but I'm wondering if there is anything that might meet their needs (see below). https://collection.bccampus.ca/textbooks/red-seal-landscape-horticulturist-i... https://open.lib.umn.edu/nativegrasses/ https://openpress.usask.ca/soilscience/ (this one was a cross-Canada partnership that Fran Walley led.
