Description

The Birch Mountains to the northwest of Ft. McMurray are located within the Upper and Lower Boreal Highlands Subregions . A sizeable protected area, the Birch Mountains Wildland Provincial Park (WPP), is located primarily within the bounds of the Upper Boreal Highlands Subregion. The WPP contains extensive bogs, patches of pine, aspen and birch forest as well as riparian meadow habitats. The park occupies an area of 144,505 ha and was the focus of a lepidoptera survey in 2004. The Upper Boreal Highlands Subregion is characterized by steeply sloping dissected plateaus and undulating and hummocky upper plateau surfaces. In addition to the Birch Mountains, the Upper Boreal Highlands Subregion includes the upper slopes and plateaus of the Buffalo Head, Naylor and Clear Hills. This Subregion is entirely surrounded by the Lower Boreal Highlands Subregion.
