White Lake Grasslands Protected Area is a conservation site located in the Regional District of Okanagan-Similkameen of British Columbia, Canada. It was established on April 18, 2001[2] by an order-in-council under the Environment and Land Use Act to protect the semi-arid grassland and pine forest ecosystem west of Vaseux Lake.[3]
The region spans from the lake's shoreline to its mountain tops, providing protection and essential ecosystems for various red and blue-listed endangered species native to British Columbia.[4] Additionally, the area encompasses archaeological sites and land traditionally occupied by the First Nations.[4]
