Certainly. The Nature Conservancy of Canada has done quite a bit of work along the eastern slopes of the Rockies in and around Calgary. We understand you're visiting a couple of places in the Calgary area in mid-May.
One of them that we would suggest is to visit the Providence Ranch. It's not maybe as good a name as Happy Valley Forest, but the Providence Ranch is a 1,000-acre conservation easement with the Kerfoot family. It's in the foothills of the Rocky Mountains.
We would be pleased to have the committee meet with the owner of the land. We would have some science and stewardship staff on hand to answer questions and show you around the property. You could hear from the landowner about what exactly this has meant for them and how it works.
We could also provide you with a brief presentation on other properties and the work that's going on both north and south of Calgary.
We would expect to be about three hours at the property, which is a great thing if you decide you want to have a boxed lunch. It's a wonderful place to have your lunch, sit outside—hopefully it won't be snowing that day in May—and have a great time. So wear your hiking boots.
There are different areas we can go to. Some of it could be a rigorous hike; there are some quite high ridges there, where you can see the Rockies from one side and Calgary on the other. Also, there are some lower areas for those who would rather have a more gentle visit.
I think it would be a great way for committee members to get an understanding of how these things work on the ground. We can talk about it here, but until you're actually there seeing it work, it's not quite the same thing.
