There are places where you?re there and time seems to stand still. You could imagine yourself in 1830 watching a herd of buffalo or a First Nations community moving across the landscape with their horses and travois. Most of it still looks that natural, and it still is that beautiful, to me.
For Nature Conservancy of Canada?s (NCC) Larry Simpson, there are few places as breathtaking as the Waldron ? 30,535 acres of natural lands in the rolling foothills on the eastern slopes of the Rocky Mountains in southwestern Alberta. In 2014, NCC celebrated the completion of its fundraising to purchase a conservation easement on this spectacular land from the co-operative of 72 ranchers who own it protecting the landscape indefinitely for traditional ranching activity and as important wildlife habitat for species including grizzly bear, wolf and elk. It is the largest conservation initiative of its kind in Canadian history, and one in which TransCanada has played an indirect role.
