The Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) has announced a 255-hectare conservation project just outside Waterton Lakes National Park. The area is home to a variety of at-risk species like the American badger, bobolink and horned grebe. The land is located in the Municipal District of Pincher Creek and Cardston County and serves as an important corridor for a variety of wildlife including the grizzly bear. These corridors are important for animals to access different habitats throughout the year. The NCC notes that elk for example, in the summer will access high-elevation habitats within the mountains, then in the fall and winter, move down into the lower elevations to breed and access winter forage. Tom Lynch-Staunton, Regional Vice-President, Nature Conservancy of Canada says Waterton Lakes National Park is renowned for its incredible wildlife. googletag.cmd.push(function() { if($(document).width()
