At long last - photos from Adopt a Rancher, with Tom Harrison on Lumsden Beach Camp native prairie pasture and Nicole Anderson's high school students from Miller Composite. It was a great day, with riparian vegetation and rangeland health assessments, discussions of nutrient cycling in liter and cryptobiotic crusts. And, a few ticks!
Tomorrow PCAP's Education Coordinator heads off to Kindersley for the first Adopt a Rancher ranch visit of the spring at the Kindersley-Elma Pasture! Photos soon to follow...
Hi All. Thanks to all the folks adding this site to their feeds! I’m gearing up to begin reaching out to teachers and ranchers and knowledge holders alike so that PCAP can hit the ground running with a great Adopt A Rancher program when school in September this year. Thanks again for your interest. If you have any questions, thoughts or input, please don’t hesitate to reach out to me by fb messenger, text (306-450-1216) or post here. I’d love to hear from you! Stay cool. ~ Shirley

PCAP is grateful for the support from Wildlife Habitat Canad for our Native Prairie Speaker Series and our school education programs (Taking Action for Prairie and Adopt a Rancher).
The Fall session of Adopt a Rancher has wrapped up (with one heck of a crazy wind!) for this year. We look forward to the Spring 2018 sessions and encourage anyone interested in participating to contact us! It’s an awesome program and the students get a real hands on learning experience!

They braved 66km wind gusts today to tour Tom Harrison’s Ranch! The Miller High School Enviro 20 class of Mrs. Nicole Anderson had the privilege to be hosted by Tom today. Thank you to Tom for being part of our Adopt a Rancher Program and for Nicole having participated for the 4th time! She loves the AAR program and looks forward to Spring 2018!
