Alexo

Alexo Natural Area is a protected site in the foothills of west-central Alberta, preserving a section of transitional landscape where the Rocky Mountain foothills meet the boreal forest. Located near the former coal mining community of Alexo, the area protects grassland, wetland, and aspen parkland habitats along the eastern slopes. The natural area serves primarily as a conservation site, protecting native vegetation and wildlife habitat in a region that has been significantly altered by resource extraction and agriculture.
