The Nature Conservancy of Canada's (NCC's) first project in Saskatchewan occurred in 1982 with the acquisition of 157 acres (64 hectares) in Qu’Appelle Coulee, located 15 kilometres (10 miles) North of Wolseley in southern Saskatchewan. This area consists of upland native grassland, mature American elm, Manitoba maple and green ash along the coulee. When acquired, this area was Saskatchewan’s second ecological reserve. Since then, NCC has completed more than 205 projects in Saskatchewan and is conserving more than 132,549 acres (53,641 hectares) of this province’s most ecologically significant land and water. The Saskatchewan Region continues to work with its partners to protect and steward Saskatchewan's natural heritage.
Thinking about Canada’s Prairies
Too close for comfort
Anyone who has felt awe or been startled with an unexpected encounter with wildlife, large or small, will undoubtedly know the thrill...and the chill...of a meeting. Aside from overwhelming enthusiasm and the makings of a great nature story, the presence of wildlife may be unexpected and most likely unpredictable.
