WILDLIFE, LANDSCAPES, AND GEOLOGY
If you want to find and view the diverse wildlife of Alberta and Saskatchewan in spectacular natural landscapes, it helps to know a bit about the geology of where animals live. From the eroding Rocky Mountains, to the rain shadow of the prairies, to deeply entrenched rivers, and glaciated terrain, geology has a strong impact on the distribution of both provinces’ biodiversity.
