The Northeast swale is a one-of-a-kind haven of Saskatchewan biodiversity and a precious refuge from the hustle of city life. As city development threatens this native ecosystem, taking the time to enjoy and appreciate all it offers is more important than ever.
Join the Swale Waters for a scenic spring walk through Saskatoon’s best remaining intact prairie. You will learn about the species that live there, search for wildflowers, and discuss the threats facing the Swale.
Note: This walk will take place on uneven surfaces, wear sturdy footwear. Be prepared for ticks as well! No dogs are permitted in the environmentally sensitive Swale.
