Boreal Forest - Dry Mixedwood
|
| Natural Region Description | This area is part of the southern-most extension of Alberta's boreal forest. Numerous boreal plants (including three species of woodland fern) grow here at their known lowland southern limits. Within the site are a number of fascinating biophysical features. A levee parallels the shoreline of the natural area sheltering a special lagoon-like habitat - a mosaic of willow shrubbery and reed beds containing many marsh plant species and providing excellent birdwatching opportunities. |
