MacConnachie Conservation Site

Our Landscape is Our Home

When you picture a conservation site, does a serene landscape open to outdoor enthusiasts come to mind? The MacConnachie Conservation Site, dedicated to the memory of Peter Thomas Fraser MacConnachie (1962–2017), is such a place. Covered by trees and shrubs, with birds singing and frogs croaking in the scattered knob and kettle wetlands, it’s an ideal site to honour Peter’s lifetime of environmental conservation efforts, particularly within the ecologically sensitive areas of the boreal forest. The land provides an opportunity to reconnect with wildlife and their habitat and makes us appreciate all Alberta has to offer.
