Saskatchewan Proclaims 18th Annual Native Prairie Appreciation Week

Released on June 10, 2016

Agriculture Minister Lyle Stewart and Environment Minister Herb Cox have jointly proclaimed June 12-18, as Native Prairie Appreciation Week in Saskatchewan.

Native Prairie Appreciation Week is unique to Saskatchewan and is celebrated each year in partnership with Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan (SK PCAP).  The week is dedicated to raising awareness and appreciation of our native prairie ecosystems.

“Saskatchewan agriculture producers recognize the role they play as stewards of the land,” Stewart said.  “As stewards, they understand the importance of protecting our native prairie plant and wildlife for future generations by using sustainable land management practices.”

“Native grasslands are an important part of our province, and that is why their conservation is a priority,” Cox said.  “Native prairie ecosystems sustain healthy fish and wildlife populations and contribute to the quality of life in Saskatchewan.”

“Ranchers, producers and land managers provide suitable habitat for many species at risk as a result of responsible land stewardship,” SK PCAP Manager Kayla Balderson Burak said.  “They play an important role in the conservation and sustainable management of these diverse prairie landscapes.”


SK PCAP has a variety of activities planned across the province to celebrate, including urban awareness booths at the Regina, Saskatoon, Swift Current and Weyburn farmer’s markets, a rural tour and workshop near Maple Creek and a youth poster contest.
