Description

The Sheep River Provincial Park and Bluerock Wildland Provincial Park Management Plan provides a long-term vision and day-to-day guidance for stewardship of the two parks. Alberta’s Parks preserve representative examples of Alberta’s natural and cultural diversity while providing appropriate outdoor recreation, heritage appreciation and tourism opportunities. This plan, prepared within the context of existing legislation and regulations, outlines how resources will be protected as well as the type and extent of outdoor recreation and tourism opportunities, and the facilities and services to be delivered. The plan was prepared with stakeholder and public input and will be reviewed and revised periodically to reflect the current thinking of Albertans about how our natural and cultural heritage will be preserved for present and future generations.

Description

Three factors were considered in selecting Moose Lake Provincial Park as a study area for collecting Lepidoptera in 2005. There is a wide diversity of habitats within the park. There was a lack of literature on Lepidoptera for the park. And the park is close to the Saskatchewan border. These three factors show clearly why there was a need to study Lepidoptera in the park, and why the odds of finding new species for the Province of Alberta would be likely. In 2006, the same factors were in play and results were much better. In 2005 many common species were collected that were also observed in 2006. Efforts were made to avoid collecting these same species. In 2006, 5 butterflies and 202 moth species were collected. Of the Lepidoptera collected, approximately ten need further analysis for complete identification. It is highly likely that two or more of these specimens will be identified as new species for the Province of Alberta. I would be very interested in seeing someone continue...
