Description

In 2017, Archaeological Survey staff investigated claims of rock art being present on a sandstone outcrop located at Sandstone Ranch, lands owned and managed jointly by the Nature of Conservancy of Canada, the Alberta Conservation Association, and the Alberta Fish and Game Association. A preliminary visit to the outcrop resulted in the identification of a couple of red ochre handprints and smears. The rock art was identified as Foothills Abstract Tradition rock art. This paper discusses the significance of this newly identified rock art and how it relates to the distribution of other red ochre handprints and smears in Plains rock art.

This wildlife status report provides a comprehensive summary of the prairie falcon and is intended to be useful to those managing populations of the species and its habitat. The prairie falcon is a large, pale brown raptor that occupies the arid hills and grasslands of western North America. In Alberta, the core of the species' breeding habitat is located south of Red Deer, along the Bow, Red Deer, Milk, South Saskatchewan, and Oldman rivers and their tributaries. The prairie falcon was identified as a Species of Special Concern in Alberta in 2003, mostly because of its small population size.
