International recognition

Federally protected areas

edit

Five National Parks of Canada (Banff, Elk Island, Jasper, Waterton Lakes and Wood Buffalo), managed by Parks Canada are located in the province. Several former national parks (such Buffalo National Park, Wawaskesy National Park, and Nemiskam National Park) formerly existed in Alberta, but were delisted in 1947.

There are several National Historic Sites of Canada in Alberta, but only two are operated by Parks Canada: Rocky Mountain House, which features an indoor interpretation centre and year-round in-person interpretation, and Frog Lake which has only outdoor interpretive panels to mark the site.

Alberta is also home to Suffield National Wildlife Area, a protected area within the military reserve at CFB Suffield.

Provincially protected areas

edit

There are several different departments and agencies that deal with land use in Alberta, however Alberta's provincial parks are managed by Alberta Parks, which since 2022 is part of the Ministry of Forestry, Parks and Tourism[2] whose mandate is to protect the province's natural landscapes in Alberta, as well as the Ministry of Environment and Protected Areas. Seven categories of protection exist. These categories are:

As of 2026, the province of Alberta manages 78 provincial parks, 34 wildland provincial parks, 193 provincial recreation areas, 15 ecological reserves, 3 wilderness areas, 138 natural areas, 2 heritage rangelands and Willmore Wilderness Park as its own subtype.[3] There is also a separate Section 7 land category for 10 locations that are curently declared but not yet designated (interim status).[4]

Although these areas are the responsibility of the Alberta government, private companies have been contracted to handle various aspects of the operation of many parks (e.g. maintenance and campground operation).

List of wilderness areas

edit

Wilderness areas have the strictest level of protection, no development of any kind is permitted, and travel is only permitted by foot.[5]

Other provincial lands

edit

Approximately 60% of land in Alberta is public land owned by the Alberta government.[8] For administrative purposes, the province is divided into two broad land use areas: the Green Area (forested land, almost entirely provincially owned) and the White Area (other).[8] The Rocky Mountains Forest Reserve was created by the Forest Reserves Act of 1964.[9] There are also 32 provincial grazing reserves located throughout Alberta. They are administered by Alberta Sustainable Resource Development.[1] Kananaskis Country is not a park but a provincially run tract of land containing several parks.
