Estevan is the home of a huge open pit coal mine. From what we could see 
from the highway (9/11, Friday before and after), and recent aerial 
photos, there has been no effort on reclaiming the land. Contrast that 
with Southeast Ohio, where a huge area, maybe 400 sq. miles has been 
reclaimed. It is South of I-70, and West of I-77, and home of "The 
Wilds", and African Wildlife preserve, among other things.
