*** About Alberta Forests

***: Alberta is home to vast and diverse forested areas which are an intrinsic part of Canada’s environment and biodiversity. Covering approximately 38% of Alberta’s land area, these forests are crucial for wildlife habitat, carbon storage, and wood resources. The region varies from the montane forests in the Rocky Mountains to the boreal forests in the plains and northern parts, each hosting a unique ecosystem. Alberta’s forests are not only vital for ecological balance but also for recreational and economic purposes, providing settings for activities and being a key part of the province’s forestry industry.
