Citation: Alberta Environment and Parks, Government of Alberta. (2018). Peat Application Area. Open Data
Study Site: Alberta
Purpose: The Peat Application Area dataset depicts available land which may contain peat resources, and the requirement of a peat application in Alberta. Areas where peat exploration is not allowed due to environmental concerns such as the presence of waterbodies and rivers, trumpeter swan lakes, parks and protected areas, key wildlife and biodiversity areas, caribou zones, and HUC 8 watersheds with bull trout and arctic grayling were removed.
Abstract: This generalized product represents areas where a peat harvesting application can be submitted.
