Description

The McGregor Lake area was chosen as a prospective Natural Area because of its representative foothills vegetation and the presence of Oplapanax Horridum (Devil's club). A biophysical survey of the McGregor Lake Natural area was undertaken from August 15-21, 1987. The vegetation and physical features of 25 stands, representing seven major vegetation types, were described. The vegetation types were mapped at 1:15,000. The vegetation and flora were found to be characteristic of the Boreal Uplands Ecoregion. Approximately 80 percent of the study area is dominated by lodgepole pine and/or white spruce forests. Other habitats include poplar forests, shrub-forb thickets, tall grass meadows and a treed fen.

Description

The Ministik Lake Game Bird Sanctuary is a large area of public land some 24 km southeast of Edmonton. Its significance for waterfowl production has been formally recognized since 1911, when it became Alberta's bird sanctuary. Since 1938, Ducks Unlimited Canada has made substantial investments in the area to enhance waterfowl production. Although there has been no formal management plan for the Sanctuary, conflicting land use demands are relatively few, and the area persists today in almost a wilderness condition. In 1985, Ducks Unlimited Canada proposed a major expenditure of funds to further enhance waterfowl production, and requested that the GOA institute a more formal arrangement to ensure land base security. The following plan is a cooperative effort between Ducks Unlimited Canada and Alberta Forestry. The plan represents a meshing of existing policies to allow positive initiatives to build upon the existing situation, and does not represent any major departures from long-term...

Description

Sandhill habitats contain a major concentration of significant features, including numerous rare, threatened and endangered species of plants and animals. Based on recommendations from previous studies on reptiles and amphibians and rare plants in Alberta's grasslands and parkland natural regions, a broad study on sandhill habitats was undertaken in 1987. The study area encompassed all sand plains and sandhill habitats from the Red Deer River south to the United States boundary, west to highway 2 and east to the Saskatchewan border. In addition, several sites north of the Red Deer River north to the David Lake area were investigated. Research in 1987 was undertaken on rare, threatened and endangered wildlife and plants. Rare, threatened and endangered plants were studied to map their distributions, and to assess the degree to which dune stabilization was occurring and how this affected native plants. Recommendations were developed for the management of key habitats and significant...
