Welcome to Nature Central​ - WILD  ALBERTA  PARKLANDS

The Red Deer River Naturalists and Nature Alberta are pleased  that the first season of NATURE CENTRAL: Celebrating Our Wild Alberta Parklands was a success!  The goal of Nature Central is to celebrate the protected areas in Central Alberta and to increase the appreciation, thoughtful exploration, non-consumptive use and ecological understanding of these areas.  At present, there are various protected areas across the region that are owned and/or man-aged by different agencies, organizations and municipalities. Nature Central provides, through this website, a central and publicly accessible inventory of these areas. In addition to summarizing the information that has already been documented for each area, Shaye and Sherry  conducted additional biological inventories of these properties.  Funding for this project has been provided by the Janet (Jaffaray) Tack bequest, ECO Canada and through private donations (Dr. Cliff Soper, Anonymous).
