This 160-acre conservation site, located 25 km southeast of Bashaw and northwest of the Buffalo Lake Moraine Conservation Area, features grasslands, rolling hills, and wetlands. In 2007, Tree Canada and Shell Canada planted aspen whips in an old hayfield, and vegetation has since re-established. The site is home to bird species such as mallard duck, gadwall, American goldfinch, clay-coloured sparrow, canvasback, redhead, and blue-winged teal, as well as plants like horsetail, silver willow, Saskatoon berry, chokecherry, trembling aspen, balsam poplar, and white spruce. Wildlife includes mule deer, white-tailed deer, and moose. Visitors can access the site from the northeast corner, where roadside viewing is available, but there are no washrooms or garbage facilities. Livestock may also be present. For more information, call 1-877-969-9091.
Access: To reach the site, head east on Highway 53 from Bashaw for 15 km, turn south onto Range Road 200, and travel 8.2 km. The site’s northeast corner will be on your right.
