Alberta created a series of small protected areas. While many are remote, a good number are close to urban areas and a good example of this Sundre North. As the urban area moves toward the NA, it will be both coveted by developers, and an increasingly important refuge of a snap shot of a semi-original state of the area. This NA are small, mighty, and fragile!
