Delaney Schlemko, Nature Conservancy of Canada

“The Nature Conservancy of Canada: Keeping the Beaver Hills Wild”

Discover the Nature Conservancy of Canada: who they are, how they conserve private land, and how they are helping to keep the Beaver Hills wild. This presentation will feature the recently acquired Ball Berg property which has a portion of the Waskahegan Trail (Triple B section) and Berg Stopover.

Delaney Schlemko is the Natural Area Manager for Northeast Alberta, which includes the Cooking Lake Moraine Natural Area and Beaver Hills Biosphere.

The Waskahegan Response to COVID-19

The COVID-19 crisis has turned our world upside down in so many ways. Between isolation and physical distancing, we’re all making adjustments. And this includes hiking.

Waskahegan Trail is Closed for Now

Please stay off the Waskahegan Trail until further notice. This puts us in line with the restrictions set out by Alberta Environment and Parks with respect to accessing public lands and recreation areas. Furthermore, staying off of landowners’ property at this time is an act of respect toward the people who are so generous to us in normal times. The last thing we hikers want is to add to their stress and violate their trust.

Until the trail opens again, please stay close to where you are. If you need a little cheer-up, why not relive old times by following us on Instagram? Our handle is @waskahegantrail. Each day we post a picture from our archive of 12,000 photos.

Memberships

As consolation for the trail closure, we have extended everyone’s membership by a year. And until further notice, any newcomers who decide to join now will get a membership extended up to February 2022. Visit the Membership page to join.
