International Biodiversity Day: May 22nd

The theme for this year's International Day for Biological Diversity (IDB) is Invasive Alien Species - one of the greatest threats to biodiversity, and to the ecological and economic well-being of society and the planet.

The Saskatchewan Boreal Forest Learning Centre will be conducting activities in Saskatchewan to promote the event. On May 22nd in Saskatoon, at a local grade school, members of the Saskatchewan Boreal Forest Learning Centre's Partnership Network will deliver presentations on Urban Awareness which will include awareness of the special features of the Saskatchewan boreal forest region, global environmental issues including deforestation - with particular focus on Saskatchewan, and awareness of the bison whom reside in the area.

On May 23rd, in the heart of the Saskatchewan boreal forest, participants will journey from Saskatoon northward and enjoy the oppotunity to experience this unique environmental region of Canada more personally in Forest Experience. Individuals will be exposed directly to the diversity that exists within the boreal forest region itself and will learn much about its features. Participants will have the opportunity to hike along a network of trails that connect the various parts of the area, located 20 km NE of Big River on the Ness Creek Festival site. Workshops will be offered to encourage an awareness of the environment and also provide young spruce saplings for people to plant amidst the thriving boreal forest.

City Incentives Should Encourage Bike, Bus Usage

Saskatoon - In a wintry prairie city whose hardy and environmentally conscious year-round, two-wheeled commuters are joined by thousands of others come spring to record Canada's second-highest percentage of cyclists, it makes good sense to adopt civic policies that accommodate them.

The suggestion this week by Lisa Labreque, a worker at a downtown office tower, that the city install a series of enclosed bike lockers in Saskatoon's core might not be practical for a city this size, but speaks to a pressing need that should be addressed.

Ms. Labreque said dozens of others who work in her building stopped biking after the owner of the officer tower told them they no longer could bring their bikes inside to keep them secure for the day.

A Saskatoon downtown store, 2nd Nature, does have a commuter locker service, where people working or shopping downtown can store their bike at the store. It's $2 per day or $30 a month. Phone (306) 249-2424 for information.

Crown Lands Campaign

Last fall the Government of Saskatchewan announced a program to sell 1.6 million acres of Crown land (an area equal in size to PEI) to current leasees at a price of 10% below market value. While lessees are not required to purchase their leases they have been told in writing from the Government that they should know that it is the government's intention to see saleable land in the hands of private ownership.

These sales are not reviewed by the ministry of Environment prior to sale and there is well over 1 million acres of native grasslands, aspen parkland and wetlands to be sold. These native public lands are critical in preserving our native flora and fauna in Saskatchewan. The lack of concern being expressed by Saskatchewan residents is being interpreted as support for the sales program.

For information on what you can do on, go to the Nature Saskatchewan website at http://www.naturesask.ca/?s=news&p=news&id=397.
