Biosphere Reserve in Alberta, Canada
About Beaver Hills
The Beaver Hills became a UNESCO Biosphere in 2016 due to the work of the local municipal governments, Parks Canada staff, and local community groups. This recognizes the region around Elk Island Park as a cohesive whole where land use decision making is integrated to preserve the local landscape and wildlife. Because there area was not well developed agriculturally, it never developed any towns of any size, so most tourist services are of the rural and rustic type. Aside from stand-alone farmsteads, the only settlements inside the Biosphere Reserve are exurban commuter homes around the hamlets of🌍Ardrossanand🌍Uncasas well as clusters (some of which aresecond homes) near lakes, like🌍Antler Lake,🌍Collingwood Cove,🌍Half Moon Lake,🌍Hastings Lake,🌍North Cooking Lake,🌍South Cooking L
