Other Information

Washout Creek Natural Area is a moderately diverse site with mature mixedwood (aspen-white spruce-balsam poplar) stands on the uplands and black spruce and black spruce-tamarack wetlands in low lying areas.

Northwest and Southeast Quarters make up this NA with the opposite quarters being privately held. The quarter section of land adjoining the southeast quarter is a Crown grazing lease [1].

Oil Spill, Summer 2019 occurred in the NA [2]. An Alberta Energy Regulator investigation did not result in any enforcement actions (File 2019-053) [3].
