[Robin Leech]

Hi Jason,

For the most part, the land around has been cleared for agriculture and in 
some cases,
acreage homes. But it is the hiway to the east that may affect the hydrology 
of the WNA.

There is across Hwy 16, to the north, more of the same, but elderly lady who 
owns it
is already having parts cleared and logged.  If the Wagner Natural Area 
(WNA) were
able to purchase some of the land north of Hwy 16, it would be a definite 
disjunct, as
the highway is 4 lanes wide, and the noise even 50 metres from the highway, 
very
unpleasant.
The drainage is to Big Lake, which is southwest of the city of St Albert, 
and from there
into the Sturgeon River, then to the North Saskatchwan.

Robin

Nice patch. What´s the surrounding matrix like? Any chance that they might 
expand the reserve (is it even worth it)?

Jason
