September 8
Development impacts on wetlands and water quality are key issues on the minds of Albertans these days. That’s why the public consultation sessions for the Alberta Land-Use Framework, Lower Athabasca Regional Plan (LARP), couldn’t have come at a better time. DUC encourages Albertans to voice their support for wetland conservation in the Lower Athabasca, a region experiencing rapid developmental growth.
