For years, SaskEnergy's Prud’homme Compressor Station has been more than a hub for energy — it’s been a hidden sanctuary for nesting birds. “We've been managing nesting birds at the station for more than 10 years. There are several wetlands near the facility and the area provides excellent nesting habitat for migratory bird species,” says Ashley Syrgiannis, SaskEnergy's Manager of Environmental Assessment. “So, before our Prud’homme Expansion Project began, we approached our Operations team to see if they would be interested in some habitat enhancements.” As part of the Prud’homme Expansion...
