The Rosebud River Valley: Racetrack for Gas Guzzlers or Homes for Bank Swallows? - Nature Canada. #savetherosebud naturecanada.ca/news/blog/th…

Southern Alberta struggles with a dearth of wetlands already. The idea of destroying existing ones is ridiculous. And fill what’s left with pollutants. Shame yourselves. Self-centred, egotistical elites in your quest for entertainment.#savetherosebud
The largest wetland in the valley. It will get LESS water and seasonally dry up sooner and what it gets will be contaminated by racetracks and skid pad. In critical habitat ... bank swallow foraging, leopard frogs, bats. Wrong location for a racetrack @savetherosebud

NO racetrack in the #RosebudValley!
#savetherosebud - it’s more than a local agenda; it’s a global movement!
Wetlands in Alberta Canada are not being protected by our Government. @savetherosebud is fighting to protect the Rosebud River valley. A racetrack development is approved to be built through wetlands in the valley. Many at risk animals are in danger. Help us #savetherosebud

Not enough said about the Golden Eagle pair that won't put up with the nonsense of racing cars. Where do they move to?

"The elite want their own racetrack in Alberta’s badlands.
Local farmers are pushing back"
Will Alberta rise to the challenge of protecting vital prairie?
Is Rosebud a 'pristine viewscape'?

And now this...these are researchers warning everyone to stop taking biodiversity for granted. Save our natural spaces. Pay attention and just STOP. "Let us destroy just one more time" will put us over the edge. #savetherosebud @KneehillCounty @AB_Enviro

The mantra runs deep. Wreck everything in the name of “economic”development. Wreck it all. Consider tax $ to build a road to make it happen. Shame yourselves. #savetherosebud
THIS is how a Race Track is built,
THIS is the destruction that can never be reclaimed.
HOW could any provincial regulator approve this destruction?
HOW could any municipality approve this destruction?
HOW do we stop this NONSENSE? #savetherosebud

Land owners are fighting some major kochia issues that have evolved with multiple years of basically non-existent weed control.

A so-called low disturbance well site, probably coal bed methane.
Lynx and Ember are among the worst out there now. Their survival depends on producing off the backs of landowners.

Who looks at a special place just like this and says, “What a great place to pave, fill important wetlands, leach some fluids into the soil, displace bank swallows & bats, and taunt hardworking farming families with incessant noise!”? #StopThisInItsTracks #SaveTheRosebud #ABLeg

These generational farmers in the Rosebud area are truly inspiring. Their love of the land & appreciation for wildlife is fantastic. They farm the uplands but KNOW that they have a biodiversity treasure in the riparian. They have single-handedly been protecting this area. 😍😍😍

Who inspires you? We are fortunate to have many incredible people who inspire us with their advocacy and taking practical action to #SaveBirds, #SaveBats & #SaveHabitat.
Special shout out to the inspirational families and advocacy team at / for @savetherosebud. #SaveTheRosebud

Govt was so confident in expected outcomes that Trans Minister met with developer before EAB decision was made, asking to use taxpayer money to build the $15M highway. And Kneehill County considers being conduit for a grant. This smells. Your tax $ at work folks #savetherosebud
Happy to see the decision of the Alberta Environmental Appeal Board to allow racetrack development that adversely impacts the Rosebud valley being challenged by judicial review filed by @savetherosebud.

Our very own @gleanerrichard talks about the rain and the drought. What didn't get on the newscast was how he spoke of the effect of the drought on the wildlife in our coulees and Rosebud River Valley. globalnews.ca/news/10479916/… #savetherosebud

This seems like the tip of an iceberg. Next it’ll be another $10 million for a water line, then another $20 million for secondary access thru Wheatland. How much for a new bridge? All for elites.#savetherosebud

Say’s Phoebe would be a lifer for me. That region is such a beautiful place, I don’t understand the mentality of people who think noise and destruction is preferable to a peaceful & healthy ecosystem 🤔😕

Wait times for medical. Overcrowding classrooms for our children. Taxpayer money should never be considered for a road to a racetrack. Talk about ultimate entitlement.#savetherosebud
