Background
A microcosm of the Meewasin Valley, the Beaver Creek Conservation Area (BCCA) is located where a prairie creek meets a prairie river. The conservation area is 133 hectares in size. The creek, for which Beaver Creek Conservation Area is named, runs from the Brightwater Marsh area to the South Saskatchewan River. BCCA contains remnant sand hills that provide a unique habitat for grassland birds, wildflowers and home for numerous species at risk including the sand-dune reliant Smooth Goosefoot, and the ground nesting Common Nighthawk. One of a small number of uncultivated short-grass prairie areas preserved in Saskatchewan, the current site has been used as a nature park since 1913. Beaver Creek is rich in biodiversity and provides many valuable services to the ecosystem.

Directions
Beaver Creek Conservation Area is located approximately 13km south of Saskatoon. Starting on Lorne Avenue, take Highway 219 due south. After approximately 12km, you will see a sign reading, "Beaver Creek East" - do NOT turn here. Continue past this sign, approximately 1km, to a sign on the right reading, “Beaver Creek Conservation Area.” Turn right (west) and follow the winding road to the parking lot.
