Nature Conservancy of Canada is encouraging people to explore and share favorite sites across Canada.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada has launched a campaign it hopes will be a catalyst for having people spend more time outside in Saskatchewan.
The not-for-profit land conservation group wants people and families to share their #NaturalHappyPlace, along with photos and a short description of the sites.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada has created an interactive map of the country. People are invited to place pins on it to mark their favorite spots, for everybody to see. The goal is to have it become a crowd-sourced guide to our nation’s favorite places in nature and a valuable resource to give people and families ideas of places to visit this summer.
“Many Canadians have a natural space they hold dear. A special trail, a secluded waterfall, a cottage beach; we all cherish nature for our own reasons,” said John Lounds, president and CEO with the Nature Conservancy of Canada.
“We want to inspire people to share their special places in nature, and create a living guide so that everybody can experience these destinations for themselves.”
The Nature Conservancy of Canada encourages people to also explore and enjoy Saskatchewan’s conservation sites for light recreational use, such as hiking, walking, photography, observing wildlife and bird watching for those who wish to be exploring the great outdoors.
“Saskatchewan is home to some of the country’s most incredible natural settings. This summer, join us in celebrating our magnificent outdoors by sharing your favorite places in nature.”
“When you do, they will be added to our #NaturalHappyPlace map, so that Canadians everywhere can discover them,” said Mark Wartman, regional vice rresident in Saskatchewan with the NCC.
As a further incentive to participate, all submissions will be entered into a contest draw for a four night luxury getaway for two people. The winner will have a choice of either the Fairmont Chateau Lake Louise in Alberta or Fairmont Le Château Montebello, in Montebello, Quebec.
Deadline for submissions into the contest is September 12, however, the map will still remain available for viewing after the contest closes.
