Northern Saskatchewan’s most ancient landscape
Peatlands, commonly known as muskegs, are an important part of the eco-system in Northern Saskatchewan and many other parts of the world. They not only provide a crucial role in maintaining the carbon capture cycle where they exist, but they are also essential to the plants and animals native to these regions, as well as the people who rely on them to continue their traditional way of life.
