Do you have a special place you go to reflect, find peace and joy, or just get away from it all? Is it a quiet or noisy place? Do the sights and sounds of nature excite and rejuvenate you? Canada is home to many special wild places—national, provincial, and local parks, nature trails, migratory bird sanctuaries, wetlands, and vast expanses of protected wilderness areas. These places are as important to your well being as they are to the survival of the plants and animals that live there.

Join CWF and its partners as we help Canadians discover their special wild places during National Wildlife Week, April 10 - 16, 2005. We'll look at some of Canada’s most intriguing protected areas and special wild places. We'll even show you how you can turn your special place into a sanctuary for all kinds of wildlife—chickadees, chipmunks, hummingbirds, hares, butterflies and birds.
