Notes

Located on the shore of Saskatchewan's Lake Athabasca, the Athabasca Sand Dunes Wilderness Park preserves an ecosystem of sand dunes/hills/sheets. Near the lake's southern tip (in Alberta), Maybelle River Wildland Provincial Park and Richardson River Dunes Wildland Provincial Park contain similar geographical features. This volume provides an approachable educational introduction to the region's geology and geography, fauna (including a chapter on endemic species, illustrations of animal footprints, and descriptions of birdsongs), and history. Also included is a brief section on how to access the parks and how to conduct an environmentally friendly visit. Color photographs, maps, diagrams, and line drawings support the text in every chapter.
