EALT works with conservation coalition to save the largest working ranch for sale in the region.
March 9, 2009
EALT is a member of a partnership of conservation organisations trying to preserve the unique Golden Ranches property. Located on the east shores of Cooking Lake, this is the largest working ranch left in Strathcona County. Besides grazing areas, the property has woodlots and wetlands, and 8 klms of shoreline. This long shoreline area has a great variety of birds – waterfowl, shorebirds, and even ospreys. It also has a range of larger animals, such as moose, deer and coyotes.
EALT is a member of a partnership including the Alberta Fish & Game Association, Ducks Unlimited, the Nature Conservancy of Canada, the Alberta Conservation Association, the Beaver Hills Initiative, and the County of Strathcona. Working as a group gives us a greater chance of success in purchasing this $13—$14 million ranch, than working separately. We are also approaching industry to participate in this unique venture.
EALT and other partners welcome any industry, corporations, or individuals who might wish to contribute to saving this property. More information is available here
