SAW is working on a water quality project testing ground water wells in the Rural Municipalities (RMs) of Old Post #43, Elmsthorpe #100, Terrell #101, Val Marie and Johnston #102.

We are looking to sample ground water wells that are being used on farms and ranches for domestic use. The objective of the project is to improve sustainable groundwater management by developing tools that rural landowners can use to reduce well water quality risks to their families and livestock.

SAW staff will travel to landowner properties and collect a well water sample free of charge.

SK PCAP'sMay Native Prairie Speaker Series Webinar is about Prairie Amphibians!
"What's On the Menu? Diet Analysis of Prairie Amphibians During the Breeding Season"

Tuesday May 12th, 2026 at 12:00pm MT
Speaker: Jo Vos, recent M.Sc. Graduate, University of Lethbridge

Register Free: https://shorturl.at/nCziy

This presentation is FREE! Tune in from anywhere! Everyone welcome!

About this Webinar:
In the vast, semi-arid landscapes of Southern Alberta, amphibians like the Boreal Chorus Frog and the Plains Spadefoot play vital yet often overlooked roles in the ecosystem. This talk explores Jo Vos’ Master’s research, which utilized dietary analysis to examine how these species sustain themselves within the prairie mosaic. By understanding the trophic interactions of these amphibians, we gain a clearer picture of wetland health and the complex food webs that support Southern Alberta’s unique biodiversity. Jo will share key findings from the field, the challenges of studying these elusive species, and why their conservation is essential for a resilient prairie ecosystem.

PCAP’s Native Prairie Speaker Series is a monthly webinar about prairie conservation or species at risk.

Hosted by: Caitlin Mroz-Sailer, Stewardship Coordinator, Saskatchewan Prairie Conservation Action Plan
