In 1996, 13,000 acres of native prairie grasslands was donated by award winning author Sharon Butala and husband Peter Butala to the Nature Conservancy of Canada. This area, named Old Man on His Back Shortgrass Prairie and Heritage Preserve, now serves as a home for several species at risk including Burrowing Owl, Swift Fox and Ferruginous Hawk. In May of 2004, a herd of 50 bison were released into the area, the first group of bison to roam freely in over 100 years.
