For this week’s Sunday Night Long Read, take a look at Birds Canada’s #Grasslands #Conservation Incentives Guide. It’s a wonderful primer on grassland birds and the programs available that can help protect them in #Alberta, #Manitoba and #Saskatchewan. If it isn’t directly applicable to your work, we still think there’s a lot to learn here and beautiful photos to boot. And if it is directly applicable, all the better.... Happy Sunday, readers.
