Ince (73.8 km)
Ince Natural Area is a 160-acre site located about 12 km north of Stettler, offering wetlands, grasslands, and shrublands, with scattered aspen stands. The area is home to wildlife such as white-tailed and mule deer, moose, muskrat, porcupine, and a variety of birds, including the Blue-winged Teal, Northern Shoveler, Horned Grebe, Sora, and Savannah Sparrow, as well as plant species like Balsam Poplar, Wild Rose, and Golden Alexander. The site also includes honey bee boxes. While there are no formal pathways, visitors can easily navigate the area; however, long grass can conceal hidden holes, so it is recommended that visitors proceed with caution in some areas.
