You may have noticed some snow sculptures around Riding Mountain National Park.

Chris Pancoe, James Culleton, Allan Fogg and Jakobi Heinrichs are the four artists for the sculptures.

The sculptures are a part of the program called “there’s snowplace like home” it’s a mix of science and art.

They chose the theme of species at risk because they want to highlight the ways they protect the species in the park and across Canada.

Two of them are the western tiger salamander and the barn swallow. The other two animals with sculptures are the leopard frog and the monarch butterfly. There are currently 28 at-risk animals in RMNP.

Richard Dupuis says they wanted to highlight the four animals most likely to be seen.
