With spring around the corner, Nature Saskatchewan is asking people to be on the lookout for endangered species.

“Lots of these species, particularly the birds, are all on their way back right now like the burrowing owls and plovers and shrikes,” said Ashley Fortney, habitat stewardship co-ordinator with Nature Saskatchewan. “If anybody sees any species at risk on their land or if they happen to see one … while they’re driving maybe down the road or something, then they can let us know.”
