In April 2012, the Government of Canada announced the divestiture of the former PFRA community pastures – strongholds for many of Canada’s prairie species at risk including the Greater Sage-grouse. Only one of the community pastures is federal land. The Govenlock Community Pasture is part of an Important Bird Area and contains critical habitat for sage-grouse. We need your help to convince the Government of Canada to establish the Govenlock Pasture as a National Wildlife Area under the management of Environment Canada.
