around them. The area contains a diverse mix of wetland and well drained upland
communities including black spruce, tamarack, ferns, mixed wood forests, and closed
conifer forests of lodgepole pine and black spruce. The area is important for wildlife as well,
especially for elk and as an over wintering area for moose. 55 km W of Edson on Highway 16

the Edson area and along the Yell owhead corridor — many that can be found quickly from the highway.
