Lac du Bois Grasslands Protected Area, Protected grassland area north of Kamloops, Canada.
The protected area spans rolling hills with bunchgrass and fescue grasslands, interspersed with aspen trees, ponderosa pine, and Douglas fir forests at higher elevations.
The Nature Conservancy of Canada acquired 2,342 acres of private land within and surrounding the protected area in 2008 to ensure long-term environmental preservation.
The region maintains a connection to its ranching heritage from the 1860s through managed grazing practices that support both conservation and agricultural activities.
Visitors can access the area through Lac du Bois Road or Tranquille-Criss Creek Forest Service Road, with opportunities for hiking, mountain biking, and wildlife observation.
The protected area contains multiple grassland communities in close proximity, supporting endangered species like burrowing owls, badgers, and sharp-tailed grouse.
