In the Field: How a Major Donation is Reshaping Research in Cypress Hills

University of Regina research has entered a new era and become a lot more comfortable.

Thanks to a generous donation from the G. Murray and Edna Forbes Foundation and support from the Government of Saskatchewan, the University’s field station in the West Block of Cypress Hills Interprovincial Park has been completely transformed.

Thanks to the new facility, students have access to improved lab space and more comfortable accommodations, while staying close to the landscapes and animals they study. The University of Regina field station provides important opportunities for hands-on research with impacts that resonate across the Prairies and beyond.
