Awakening from their winter slumber, petals begin to unravel, wheat starts to sprout, and the woodland creatures blink their eyes open to begin a slow morning in the dawn of the new season; spring has arrived. This vignette of our natural environment observes the flora and fauna that are endemic to our land, the wildlife that was here long before us. It represents where we all came from, where we’ll go back to eventually, and how we are all connected through nature.

The SK provincial emblems of nature live in harmony throughout this elegant scene: The White-Tailed Deer, Sharp-Tailed Grouse, Walleye, White Birch, Saskatoon Berry, Needle-and-Thread Grass, and Western Red Lily.
