Description

Wetlands are an important part of an ecosystem, supporting a higher biodiversity than surrounding landscapes and benefitting the watershed by reducing floods, improving water quality and maintaining surface water during dry periods. The Industrial Heartland area northeast of Edmonton is home to more than 12,000 wetlands occupying 45 square kilometres, or eight per cent of the total land area. This report is intended to improve the understanding of the current state of wetlands in the area, an integral step in the development of a wetland management strategy.
