Information on survey protocols can be found on the Government of Saskatchewan Wild Species Research Permitting page. Survey protocols provide instruction and guidance for the preferred methods of carrying out and reporting on wild species in Saskatchewan. Please note that the website is updated on a live basis, so check back prior to your project to ensure you have the latest information.

Standardized loadforms for entering wild species observations are available from the Government of Saskatchewan Wild Species Research Permitting page and can be downloaded from the Government of Saskatchewan Publications Centre. Please check back prior to your project to ensure you have the latest version.
Data and reports submitted through the species detection research permit process should be directed to SD.researchpermit@gov.sk.ca. This includes surveys where a permit is not required but notification is requested. See the Government of Saskatchewan Wild Species Research Permitting page for details. Please note that this data will be forwarded to the SKCDC, and therefore you only have to submit your data once.
If you are not following the terms of a permit and would like to submit data to the SKCDC, these loadforms may be used to submit data to us. Please visit our page on submitting observations for more details.
The Saskatchewan Activity Restriction Guidelines for Sensitive Species are to assist proponents during the planning of proposed projects. The Activity Restriction Guidelines document can be accessed on the Government of Saskatchewan Publications Centre: Guidelines and Policy Page.
