Conservancy gains land pledge near Riding Mountain
The Nature Conservancy of Canada and Lake of the Prairies Conservation District hosted an open house at Life & Art Centre drawing about 25 attendees. Bill Nevistiuk signed a conservation easement to protect 277 acres northwest of Riding Mountain National Park, safeguarding habitat for moose, bear, wolves, elk, waterfowl and at-risk species like the Golden-winged warbler and Red-headed woodpecker. The easement keeps landownership with titleholders while limiting future development and securing long-term natural state. The NCC, since 1962, has conserved over two million acres nationwide, with Manitoba totaling more than 40,000 acres. The Riding Mountain Wildlife Corridor and Yellow Quill Prairie Preserve are among NCC efforts in the region.
