Compelling editorial piece about the #bighornbackcountry and why all Albertans have a vested interest in this area.

“It is important we protect (the #bighornbackcountry) area as a provincial park, similar to Kananaskis Country, because in this world this sort of area is becoming rarer and harder to find,” writes Cole Hendrigan in @RedDeerAdvocate https://t.co/kqxyPDREhS

Here is a Bighorn gem! These two lakes support a rare population of Golden Trout that were initially stocked in the 50's. Golden Trout only live in high alpine lakes in a few locations in Alberta. Let's protect these rare places @Y2Y_Initiative @albertapreserve.

What's your favourite time of year?

It's hard to beat the sight of wildflowers adding some colour to our landscape!
The #BighornBackcountry is a beautiful place to see these great colours. Check out https://t.co/1ef9yp3vMK to help designate it as a #WildlandPark

[Alberta Preserves @albertapreserve]

6,800 squared km of land is a lot of space. Think of all the habitat that provides for vulnerable species like #wolverine, #bulltrout, or #grizzlybears? Now that's worth protecting.
