     At the October 7 meeting of the Natural History Society, Dan McAskill 
     
     will be giving information on the 16th annual Canadian Nature Federation 
     
     Conference to be held in Saskatoon next June. 
     
    

    
     The conference will help celebrate a century of wildlife conservation - 
     
     on the 100th anniversary of Last Mountain Lake Wildlife Sanctuary Canada's 
     
     first. Field trips are planned as far north as Churchill, Manioba, and as 
     
     far south as the Cypress Hills, Saskatchewan - from tundra to boreal forest 
     
     to aspen parkland to grassland. 
     
    

    
     Between June 5 - 8, interested naturalists will meet at the University 
     
     of Saskatchewan. The symposium emphasizes Conservation on the Prairies - 
     
     past and present. The banquet features Saskatoon berry pie and other local 
     
     treats. A wine and cheese party at the Diefenbaker Centre highlights a 
     
     Nature Art show as well as Diefenbaker memorabilia. Accommodation and meals 
     
     are available on the greystone campus of the University of Saskatchewan. 
     
    

    
     Watch for further details of the conference in the winter issue of
