CRANBROOK, B.C. — The Nature Conservancy of Canada says a new conservation area north of Cranbrook, B.C., will protect important bird habitat and preserve grasslands in the province's southeast.
Richard Klafki, a B.C. program director with the Nature Conservancy, says the land which also includes wetlands and forests is a"key biodiversity area," and came up for sale when the former owner, a local rancher, decided to downsize. He says the grasslands include nesting grounds of the Long-billed Curlew, and are also relied upon by elk and deer in the winter.
