The Nature Conservancy of Canada has announced a memorial land donation near Riding Mountain National Park.
418 acres of land has been donated.
The not-for-profit group is celebrating the generous support of Bob Mickelson Conservation Lands.
The property consists of grasslands, wetlands, forests, and even a lake, all of which are home to many different species of plants and wildlife.
Forests located within the Bob Mickelson Conservation Lands enhance the property’s diversity by providing nesting cover, feeding and breeding grounds for many birds, amphibians and mammals, such as moose and elk.
The property is home to several waterfowl species and species at risk, including Canada Warbler, eastern wood-pewee, bobolink and northern leopard frog.
According to the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the conservation of these lands is both an honour to the memory of Bob Mickelson and a benefit to all Canadians.
With this 418 acre plot of land, the Nature Conservancy of Canada has conserved 19071 acres of land as part of 83 different projects in and around RMNP.
