One evening I waned to change up my routine, and talk a walk somewhere new. Hopefully, spot something new too. I decided to take a walk on some Government of Saskatchewan land, and spend sometime with some wildlife. From every fishing, fur, and hunting licence that is sold within the province 30% of the revenue gets put into the Fish and Wildlife Development Fund. Currently, over 215, 000 acres of land has been purchased, and all of this land is open for pulic use... as long as the activities occur on foot only, and don't include camping, or littering, or intrusion on management treatment (which can include cattle grazing or haying). So I parked my car on the edge of this land, and proceeded to walk in. This little piece of land did not disapoint. It was a beautiful little piece of property. I saw many different animals, along with different plants, and enjoyed my time doing it. These lands are little hidden gems in our province, and are among many efforts to help conserve the land base that is the prairie. I not only walked in on the property, but also decided to walk along its boundaries along the grid road that runs along the south boarder of the property. It gave a new view as I spent time wondering down the gravel road. I seen many things down that short run of road. A few animal tracks, and lots of water! I was glad I went for walk down the gravel road since I got a great glimpse at the habitat that existed in the water, and in the neighbouring property. All the flowers, green grass, and water gave a nice fresh feel to the world. I also got the pleasure of seeing a beaver that night! Then on my way back home, as the sun was setting. I was lucky enough to witness some beautiful refelctions. All in all a very productive evening, and one that was definitely worth the drive, effort, and time. I am so very thankful that the Fish and Wildlife Development Fund exists and helps to provide opporunties like these to the people of the province.
