Land Partnership
The Assiniboine River in the Glen Souris / Waggle Springs Area
Canupawakpa Trail
Eternal Springs
Eternal Springs offers a parking area, picnic and campfire facilities, pit toilets, and walking trails. The above sign sends the message that someone is paying attention. We have visited three tiimes over a decade and found no evidence of the litter and damage that we see in many WMS's.
Metigoshe Natural Area
Conservation Districts have set aside both Natural and Historic Areas - usually with vehicle restrictions.
Conservation Corridors
Conservation Corridors set aside unused or un-maintained road allowances. They are great places to go for a walk.
Unfortunatly, they are difficult to regulate and some are littered with beer cans. As usual - some people insist on shooting up the signs. It seems that the very word "conservation" upsets them.
