Aspen Parklands
(Area - 39,738,301 ha)

Executive Summary

Aspen ParklandsDescription - Most of the Aspen Parklands is in Manitoba, Saskatchewan, and Alberta, with only a small portion entering the United States in northern Minnesota.

Conservation recommendations and needs - The vast majority of this physiographic area is in Canada, with only a small portion extending into northwestern Minnesota. The Aspen Parklands are of note because this habitat harbors more species of breeding birds than any other physiographic area on the continent. In Canada, virtually the entire area is included within the boundaries of the Prairie Habitat Joint Venture. There will not be a separate PIF-US bird conservation plan for this area, but rather we will follow the lead of PIF-Canada.
