This Land is Your Land  by Candace Savage

If you care about the special beauty of the prairie—if you want know that there will be wild, wide open spaces of natural grassland for your children’s children to  enjoy—there is something you can do. It will only take a few minutes, but it could affect the health of the prairie ecosystem for generations.

The big, bold prairie landscapes of the Community Pastures are perfectly  adapted for use as grazing lands. Whatever else happens, they must be protected from cultivation and carefully managed for livestock production. So please take a few minutes to write to your MLA http://www.legassembly.sk.ca/mlas/  and tell him or her that you care about the livestock producers and Community Pasture staff who rely on these lands for their livelihood. More than that, tell him or her that you care about the prairie’s wild inhabitants, which rely on the wide open spaces of cattle country for their very
existence.
