The grasslands in general provide many services to the people of BC, including wildlife habitat, forage for livestock and amazing landscapes and recreational opportunities. With current focus on First Nations traditional uses, carbon sequestration and climate change, as well as species at risk, the grasslands are more important than ever. Support us on February 5th and show your Love for the Grasslands.
