Carbyn Creek Wildlands, Sylvan Glen

The Edmonton and Area Land Trust works to protect natural areas to benefit wildlife and people, and to conserve biodiversity and all nature’s values, for everyone forever. We steward these special places with volunteers and neighbours, who are critical to our work, and we educate the public to protect nature for future generations.

Carbyn Creek Wildlands contains mature mixedwoods forest and spruce bogs, with a view of the creek that winds its way through the boreal forest landscape. The site provides breeding habitat for songbirds, and refuge for mammals of all sizes. A variety of bird species have been recorded during breeding bird surveys including Pileated Woodpecker, Broad-winged Hawk, and many songbirds such as the Black-and-White Warbler, Boreal Chickadee, and Blue-headed Vireo. This land also provides habitat for other species including moose, bear, and amphibians like the western toad. Activities: Hiking Children:
