Natural area buffers and helps filter Buffalo Pound Lake, providing drinking water for approximately 25 per cent of Saskatchewan’s population
The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) and its partners today unveiled a new conservation site, located 40 kilometres from Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan.
The not-for-profit, land conservation organization announced the purchase of the area, which consists of 866 hectares (2,140 acres) of native grasslands and seven kilometres of shoreline along the north shore of Buffalo Pound Lake. These grasslands help filter the drinking water for approximately one-quarter of the province’s population, including the cities of Regina, Moose Jaw, and several surrounding communities.
