WHITEMUD CREEK AND THE ADJACENT NORTH SASKATCHEWAN RIVER VALLEY ARE NATURAL AREAS IN THE CENTER OF EDMONTON, ALBERTA, CANADA. THEY FALL WITHIN THE PARKLAND ECOSYSTEM BUT ALSO HAVE ELEMENTS OF A BOREAL FOREST SYSTEM.
THERE IS AN ARRAY OF WILDLIFE OCCURING YEAR ROUND INCLUDING COYOTES, WHITETAIL AND MULE DEER, BEAVER, RAPTORS, WATERFOWL, A VARIETY OF SONGBIRD SPECIES, ETC. IN ADDITION THE RIPARIAN CORRIDOR ALONG THE RIVER ATTRACTS MIGRATING SPECIES AND OCCASIONAL WANDERERS FROM OUTSIDE THE CITY SUCH AS MOOSE AND BLACK BEARS. I WILL ADD FURTHER PHOTOS FROM NATURAL AREAS WITHIN EDMONTON AS I TAKE THEM OVER THE NEXT YEAR OR TWO.
