It costs a lot of money to conserve nature. Accessible, educational and sustainable nature costs even more. Today’s population and usage are too much for the original 1979 Meewasin plan.
Funding from government and partners only covers a portion of what it takes. Without public donations, Meewasin would struggle to:
-
- -Support education and interactive experiences for year-round learning and tourism
programming - -Improve the trail system, create safe access to the valley for users, as well as offer recreation and tourism opportunities
- -Protect the valley, restore and rejuvenate native habitat within the river valley
- -Support education and interactive experiences for year-round learning and tourism
Your donation will help keep the South Saskatchewan River Valley a healthy and vibrant place where people connect with each other, with cultural history and with natural habitats.
For thousands of years, this beautiful valley has nurtured, inspired and sheltered its inhabitants. For the last four decades, the Meewasin Valley Authority (a non-profit) has protected the valley while balancing human use and conservation by:
-
- -Providing leadership in the management of its resources
- -Promoting understanding, conservation and beneficial use of the Valley
- -Undertaking programs and projects in river valley development and conservation, for the benefit of present and future generations
Please contribute to our common goal of sustaining Saskatoon’s river valley corridor.
Thank you for supporting the stewardship of over 67 sq/km and 105+ km of public trail that is the Meewasin Valley! In the past few months, we’ve seen an increased demand for outdoor infrastructure to help support both the mental and physical health of our community. Although this time has held many uncertainties and adaptations, Meewasin’s commitment to educating youth, enhancing community spaces, and increasing quality of life for visitors and residents of Saskatoon and area has remained unchanged.
