Classification of sand dune and sand plain plant communities in the Wainwright Dunes Ecological Reserve

Description

The Wainwright Dunes Ecological Reserve is located directly south of Canadian Forces Base (CFB) Wainwright, comprising an area of just over 2,800 hectares. The Wainwright Dunes Ecological Reserve is provincial Crown land, administered by Alberta Community Development. Current land uses consist primarily of cattle grazing on native pasture. The Buffalo Park Grazing Association holds the lease for grazing rights within and adjacent to the Ecological Reserve. The objectives of this project are: ?to develop a plant community classification of sand dune and sand plain plant communities of the Wainwright Dunes Ecological Reserve, representative of the Central Parkland Natural Subregion based on field survey, correlations with other surveys and any available previously-collected data; and ?evaluate and assign a preliminary provincial conservation rank to each identified community type, based on its rarity/endemism or threats to its condition.
