Dinosaur Provincial Park Message from the Honourable Dr. Richard Starke Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation Welcome to Alberta Parks! Alberta’s provincial parks are some of our most valued treasures – offering us the chance to learn about nature, to lead active lives in the great outdoors, and to create lasting memories with family and friends. For more than eight decades, we’ve shared Alberta’s incredible backyard with visitors from near and far – a tradition we will continue for generations to come. We take great pride in giving you our best, and Alberta Parks is here to help you create your ideal outdoor experience. Explore gives you a glimpse into Alberta’s vast and diverse provincial parks system, and there is more waiting for you online at AlbertaParks.ca. Whether you’ve grown up in Alberta’s provincial parks, or are discovering them for the very first time, you’ll be sure to find something new at every turn – no matter the season. Enjoy! Dr. Richard Starke Minister of Tourism, Parks and Recreation 4 Explore Alberta Parks Guide albertaparks.ca Explore Alberta Parks Guide albertaparks.ca 5 The Value of Alberta Parks SAFE CAMPING TIPS Parks protect critical habitat for many endangered plants and animals, including 7,500 square km of woodland caribou habitat. Over 9,000 square km of protected lakes and wetlands in Alberta’s parks help maintain, store and purify water. Hiking, cycling, cross-country skiing, snowshoeing, horseback riding, swimming and other activities you can do in provincial parks are part of active lifestyles that help relieve stress and reduce risk of chronic diseases.

  • Evidence from Charcoal of Fire Regimes in the Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada
    Pedo-anthracology and Pre-Quaternary charcoal Evidence from charcoal of fire regimes in the Cretaceous of Alberta, Canada Sarah A. E. Brown1, Andrew C. Scott1, Margaret E. Collinson1 and Dennis Braman2 1 Department of Earth Sciences, Royal Holloway University of London, Egham, Surrey, TW20 0EX, U.K; [email protected] 2 Royal Tyrrell Museum of Palaeontology, Midland Provincial Park, P.O. Box 7500, Drumheller, Alberta T05 0Y0, Canada; [email protected] Summary: Charcoal is recorded from late Cretaceous sediments of Dinosaur Provincial Park, Alberta, Canada and represents the first documented observations of charcoal at this locality despite over one hundred years of research. Abundant charcoal deposits have been recorded throughout the 1.7 million year sediment sequence indicating multiple fire events within this locality. Fire appears to be a major influencing factor within this Cretaceous ecosystem and may have affected the life of the inhabiting dinosaurs. The occurrence of charcoal allows reconstruction of the burned vegetation at multiple locations within Dinosaur Provincial Park. The charcoal assemblage is comprised of gymnosperm wood only, which may be a reasonable representation of the local vegetation; however it could be the result of a taphonomic bias. The absence of additional plant types within the charcoal assemblage may also be due to certain species being preferentially burnt owing to a more fire prone nature. Key words: wildfire, charcoal, gymnosperm, wood, Cretaceous INTRODUCTION Fire plays a major role in modern ecosystems, greatly influencing plant communities (Bowman et al., 2009). The anatomical preservation of charcoal makes it a highly useful tool that allows reconstruction of plants, and therefore the vegetation of specific localities.

  • February Newsletter
    Winter continues to cover Kananaskis in a blanket of snow. Have you been out enjoying it? If You Admire the View, You Are a Friend Of Kananaskis For the rest of 2013, the Friends Newsletter will feature wildlife camera photographs from Kananaskis Country. The photos were provided by John Paczkowski, the Park Ecologist for Kananaskis Country. Many of the photographs are part of research programs in the various areas of Kananaskis. The one above is a cougar attempting to steal a beaver carcass hung in a tree. These carcasses are used to attract and photograph wolverines, and the barbed wire you see allows collection of hair samples for DNA identity testing. If you have not met John, you should. He has spoken at several Friends events, and has one of the best jobs in the world, tracking wildlife movements in and around K-Country. Beside which, John's a great guy and we thank him for his generosity in supplying these photos. Trail Care 2013 Update By Rosemary Power, Program CoOrdinator With the spring just around the corner, we are looking ahead to our 2013 Trail Care season with TransAlta as the title sponsor for this years program. Thanks to you, our hard working volunteers, we will be providing trail maintenance and construction in a wide variety of locations in and around Kananaskis Country. As in previous years, our main trail work days will be the second Saturday of each month but additional days, both weekday and weekend, will likely be created. Work usually ranges from pruning back bushes growing alongside the trail, through to digging drainage channels, sawing logs (by hand) and splitting rock or moving boulders.
