Last Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary
|
The north end of Last Mountain Lake is one of the Prairie Provinces' most important waterfowl staging areas and is a crucial "refueling stop" for waterfowl and other water and land birds on their way from the Arctic to the southern United States. Over 280 species of birds have been recorded and over 100 of these species have been documented to breed in the area.
1887 Dominion Government Order in Council set aside just over 1000 hectares to create the Last Mountain Lake Bird Sanctuary. It addition to being the first officially protected wildlife area in what was to become Saskatchewan, it was the first designation of a bird sanctuary in North America.
The Last Mountain Lake National Wildlife Area.
