Badgers, Beef, & Pastures: A Habitat Management Workshop

Nature Saskatchewan is co-hosting two workshops in Val Marie and Eastend, SK on February 27 and 28; partnering with Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Plan, Saskatchewan Stock Growers Foundation, and South of the Divide Conservation Action Plan. The workshop is geared towards rural communities and landholders and managers and will feature hands-on activities and case studies. Included in the afternoon will be informative presentations on species at risk identification, American Badger coexistence, and available financial incentives such as conservation easements and habitat agreements, as well as a multi-species habitat case study and ranch planning activity. Following the workshop, there will be a free, locally-catered dinner and an evening presentation by Sherri Grant of Grant Ranch! Sherri is co-author of “Where Beef Comes from” and a wildlife photographer, and will be presenting on wildlife from a rancher’s perspective.

The workshop and dinner take place February 27 in Val Marie at the Val Marie Senior Centre and February 28 in Eastend at the Eastend Activity Centre. For both dates, the workshop runs from 2:00pm to 5:30pm with dinner starting at 6:30pm. Interested but can’t attend the entire day? No problem – just let us know what you plan to attend!

If you would like to attend, please RSVP by February 20th by emailing Grace at obo@naturesask.ca or call or text 306-780-9833. We hope to see you there!
