Beaverhills Lake, near Tofield, Alberta, lies at the heart of an area recognized as one of North America's most important wetlands. The lake supports hundreds of plant and animal species in its still, shallow waters, undisturbed by boats or swimmers. This beautiful book features a map of the lake and its surroundings; 85 colour photographs; checklists of the birds, mammals and plants of Beaverhills Lake; a list of references; and a foreword by environmentalist and educator Jim Butler.
