REDBERRY LAKE JOINS REPRESENTATIVE AREAS NETWORK

Released on November 28, 1997

Environment and Resource Management Minister Lorne Scott today

announced formal recognition of Redberry Lake and its associated

uplands as the first aquatic site to be included in the provincial

Representative Areas Network.



The Redberry Pelican Project is a society formed in 1989 with the goal

of promoting environmentally sound eco-tourism development at Redberry

Lake located in central Saskatchewan. The site has been a federal

migratory bird sanctuary since 1925 and the islands have been wildlife

refuges since 1986. The area is long renowned for its nesting

colonies of white pelicans and white-winged scoters populations.

Redberry Lake is an excellent eco-tourism destination site to view

rare animals and plants.



"The Memorandum of Understanding we are signing today marks a

significant contribution to the Representative Areas Network," Scott

said. "The land management practices supported by the Redberry

Pelican Project on more than 6,585 hectares have resulted in the

preservation and protection of this important provincial aquatic

site."



Redberry Lake and its associated uplands contribute to the goals

and objectives of the developing provincial Representative Areas

Network. The network, to be established by the year 2585 through

an Action Plan announced in September 1997, will help conserve

Saskatchewan land areas that are ecologically important or

distinctive. It incorporates all of the unique features,

landscapes and resources already being managed as parks,

ecological reserves and wildlife lands. New sites that

supplement these existing areas will be identified and designated

in consultation with landowners, stakeholders and the public.



Scott noted that efforts to preserve and improve wetland and

other habitat in Saskatchewan are progressing. The co-operative

relationship formalized today will help to ensure the long-term

preservation of this important and unique provincial water body.
