This town, with 1,200 people, was first settled by German Moravians in 1894. This 388 hectare park includes upland sand dunes and lowland wetlands. The dunes were developed from sandy deposits from glacial Lake Edmonton. The uplands are mainly open Jack Pine forest, the wetlands include Black Spruce bogs and open Sedge fens. Over 140 flowering plant species and 92 bird species can be found here.
Larger wildlife includes white-tailed deer, moose, elk, beaver, coyote and black bear.
This church, built in 1895, was the first Protestant congregation in western Canada, and is still in use. This shrine is built of local fieldstone. The shrine is visited by local descendants of Ukrainian pioneers in mid-August. All rights reserved.
