THE RAVINE ECOLOGICAL
PRESERVE
This park, known widely throughout Yorkton and Area as
the Ravine Ecological Preserve is the result of several
parties, committed to the conservation of nature. These
groups have strived to preserve the harmony shared by
the multitude of diverse species and ecosystems within
the Ravine.
Working in co-operation with the City of Yorkton, the
Ravine Ecological Preserve Sub-commission, operating as
the steering committee has engaged services from: Rotary
Club of Yorkton, Shell Canada, The Yorkton & District
Natural History Society, The Saskatchewan Wildlife
Federation, The Saskatchewan Conservation Officers
Association, The Yorkton Heritage Commission, Ducks
Unlimited Canada, and many other individuals.
The Preserve invites you to take the time to experience
the arboretum and trail and to relax and enjoy this fine
natural facility.
Look and Listen, feel the texture, smell the fragrance
and taste the air. Remember, leave only footprints as
your testimonial and help preserve further this
endowment for future generations.
The start of this trail lies 100 meters to the North
West …..Enjoy! |
