Swift Current, Saskatchewan

Cave Pasture, SK (GPS coordinates: 50.31077, -107.818296)

1 p.m.- 4 p.m.

Located just outside Swift Current, NCC’s Cave Pasture conservation project consists of 286 hectares of grasslands, wetlands and shoreline habitat. Prairie grasslands are one of the rarest and most at-risk ecosystems in the world, making their conservation crucial to Saskatchewan’s well-being.

Grasslands play a pivotal role in filtering our water, lessening the risks of floods and droughts, and storing carbon. They have provided sustenance for humans for thousands of years. Conserving grasslands provides effective solutions to counter the challenges of rapid biodiversity loss and the impacts of climate change.

The Cave Pasture property and surrounding area are a refuge for numerous species, including sharp-tailed grouse, loggerhead shrike, Sprague’s pipit and long-billed curlew.

Join us on an immersive journey to explore the property, and experience its rich biological and cultural significance. Learn about grassland conservation efforts, and leave inspired to embrace a deeper connection with nature.
