Other Information

Nestow is a small hamlet (population, ~5), east of Westlock and North of Edmonton [1]. Its name was taken from the Cree word for ‘brother-in-law’ although the reason for this choice is not known [2].

A Missing Section completes an otherwise rectangular site. This portion is owned by Westlock County; the Alberta Conservation Association owns the land to the south of the site [3]. The Steward for this area received the Outstanding Individual Steward Award in 2008 [4].
