Onefour Heritage Rangeland

About Onefour Heritage Rangeland

Designated in 2000, this Heritage Rangeland protects extensive native grasslands dominated by blue grama and needle-and-thread grass in Alberta's Dry Mixedgrass region. The three separate parcels encompass ephemeral wetlands, badlands, riparian shrublands, and two rare igneous dykes, providing critical habitat for numerous species at risk including ferruginous hawks, mountain plovers, burrowing owls, and short-horned lizards.
