The conservancy says money from the federal government and private donors went to buying up 271 hectares of land in the Skookumchuk Prairie in B.C.’s southeast corner
The Nature Conservancy of Canada has bought 271 hectares of land in B.C.'s southeast for a conservation area to protect and preserve grasslands that are home to nesting birds.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.
