Plan for Parks Posted December 21, 2007 Premier Ed Stelmach recognized the importance of Alberta Parks to maintaining the excellent quality of life that exists in Alberta, and that a re-vitalization of the Alberta Parks program was needed to continue to steward this legacy for future generations. In 2007, Premier Stelmach directed Alberta Tourism, Parks, Recreation and Culture (TPRC) to develop a plan for parks and recreation areas to accommodate population growth and improve quality of life opportunities. Alberta’s Plan for Parks is being developed in response to this mandate, and will provide a guide for moving forward in strengthening and enhancing the Alberta Parks program into the 21st century, continuing to steward parks and protected areas while keeping pace with population growth and the contemporary needs of Albertans.

Natural Treasures of Carolinian Canada, Edited by Lorraine Johnson
Posted August 16, 2007 Sweeping from Toronto to Lake Huron and Lake Erie is a region of biological richness unmatched in Canada. Here the native trees have unusual names — Sassafras, Cucumber Magnolia, Tulip-tree, Black Walnut, Pawpaw — evoking the distinctly southern character for which the region is named. The Carolinian region is only a quarter of a percent of the country’s total land area, but close to one-third of Canada’s rare and endangered plants and animals live here. So does more than a quarter of the country’s population. The Carolinian landscape is one of the most threatened in North America. Since 1984 the Carolinian Canada Coalition has been bringing together organizations, communities, and individuals to conserve the special places and species of the Carolinian life zone. It has become a powerful voice for protecting the remaining fragments of Carolinian habitat. But much still needs to be done. This book is a labour of love for the contributors, naturalists and scientists who share their knowledge of the diverse richness and rarity of the species and spaces in Carolinian Canada through engaging and informative text, and who hope that this book will inspire, encourage, and support the work of conserving this unique landscape.
