Description

A fundamental strategy in the preservation of functional ecosystems is to identify and preserve a full compliment of habitat types, which in return support a diversity of animals, plants, and other life forms. Vegetation is an integral component of habitat and provides a relatively easy means of inventory and monitoring of ecosystem health both spatially and temporally. The current study, in Writing-on-Stone Provincial Park, focuses on the identification of unique riparian and coulee plant associations, or plant community type. Alberta Sustainable Resource Development contracted Wildlands Ecological to complete an inventory of natural/semi-natural plant communities, statistically analyse the data, and describe potential plant community or association types.

Description

Writing on Stone Provincial Park is located along an area of the Milk River where rocky outcroppings are abundant. This terrain provides excellent roosting habitat for several species of bats. There are also clumps of cottonwood trees along the river, which provide foraging habitat for all prairie bats. While bats have been captured in the park for many years, there has been no compilation of records, and there has been confusion over what areas of the park have and have not been surveyed for bats. This report describes the capture records of the author for bat work done in both the public areas of park and the restricted area of the park south of the Milk River. The report also compiles netting records for bat work done in the park since 1985.

Description

Contains two papers in the Occasional Paper series. Excavations at Writing-On-Stone (Occasional Paper 12) reports on excavations at selected locations of the rock art site of Writing-On-Stone Provincial Park. The excavations demonstrate repeated native occupation of the area from approximately 3,000 BC into historic times. Significantly, bone tools found directly beneath petroglyph panels indicate that rock art was being created at Writing-on-Stone some 1,500 years earlier than previously suspected. Stone circles at Chin Coulee (Occasional Paper 13) presents results of salvage archaeological studies carried out in October 1975 of two tipi ring sites located on Chin Coulee, south of Taber. Proposed realignment of Highway 36 to would impact these sites.
