Description

The primary purpose of this ESA study was to evaluate and provide an overview of all ESA inventories completed to date in Alberta and to determine which areas were of provincial, national or international significance. An analysis of Level 1 Natural History Theme occurrence in each of the ESAs was a significant component of this project. From an analysis of aerial photographs and dominant surficial themes identified from the literature, surficial landform units were mapped and the percentage occurrence of the 20 Level 1 Natural History Themes defined by Alberta Parks Services was determined for every surficial landform unit within each ESA.
