Beaver Creek Conservation Area is located 13km south of Saskatoon. It is a sheltered creek, river valley, and prairie habitat. It is the microcosm of the Meewasin Valley, and contains one of the few uncultivated short grass prairie sites in Saskatchewan. An interpretive centre and staff provide opportunities to discover nature during the four seasons along a selection of five nature trails.
I went to this place in which I had been when I first arrived here during the winter, and it was much greener, not to what I thought it would be yet, but it was an enjoyable excursion and ironically it has a "sister" conservation place in Texas.

ReplyDeleteYeah they were they were not the same ones as were there before but as I left this place called Beaver Creek there again at the entrance and exit was several horses. Yet these two and a few others were really nice.

ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing these, Jim.
ReplyDeleteLOL - I don't know what it was for the life of me I had just came out of a meeting in the morning and I saw this right in front of a hair salon and went in and asked if they would mind if I took a picture and the reply was "sure go ahead everyone comes in and asked to take a picture of it". I think the "coach" may be making more $$$ than the salon. :)
