SanctuariesSouthern Alberta is home to a number of nature sanctuaries. These are special areas designated to serve as undisturbed areas where nature and wildlife co-exist. Many southern Alberta sanctuaries depend on irrigation for their water supply, for without water the sanctuary’s existence would be in peril. These protected areas provide wildlife a safe and secure environment while at the same time visitors to the sanctuary can see a variety of mammals, birds, insects and plants that are not that easily seen outside these protected areas. |
