Connections from Saskatchewan
Connections from Saskatchewan
This is a picture of a landscape near my hometown of Turtleford, Saskatchewan. A three and a half hour drive away from Camrose, I have rarely considered the connections between here and there. These connections are, however, profound. Many of the same issues that face the Battle River watershed also face Turtleford and area. The Turtle River (more of a creek, really) flows through Turtleford before reaching the North Saskatchewan River to the south. Though the Turtle and Battle rivers are part of separate sub-basins, they are both part of a greater whole: most immediately, the North Saskatchewan River Basin. Two landscapes that I had previously viewed as vastly different and disconnected from one another are really intimately connected. This realization has taught me that all our actions have consequences that go far beyond our immediate surroundings. When it comes to water, these consequences can literally flow from community to community, province to province, and even around the world.

Wolf Creek Fall
Wolf Creek Fall
This picture was taken 200m from the historic C&E Trail. The deadfall is from beaver activity. Typically this area floods in the spring. The land owners keep riparian vegetation healthy and allow only temporary access for grazing and watering. They have achieved a good balance.
