Around the world, grasslands are known by many names: prairie, savanna, veldt, meadow. CPAWS Southern Alberta believes ‘heartlands’ says it all. Once our Why Grasslands? experience has introduced you to the vibrant pulse of life in this often-overlooked wilderness, you too will know the connective sense of place that feeds CPAWS’ grasslands affection and protection.

Fantastical creatures – from swift fox to burrowing owl – will weave a web of connectivity as deep as the grasslands’ fescue-rooted soil. Whether you’re joining us in person, on-line, or outside on the land we will bring you inquiry, games, and hands-on activities and provide everyone with a learning journey brimming with awe, wonder, and welcome.
