Ducks Returning To 27 000 Acre Alberta Sanctuary
In Ministik Lake sanctuary 33 miles east of Edmonton after a 16 year Ducks Unlimited effort. Warden Francis Williams notes warm weather brings masses of ducks to the 27 000 acre site as northward migration resumes. The project began after beaver and water management declines from 19th century trapping and 1925 federal sanctuary status. Ducks Unlimited built 11 dams creating ponds and streams to reestablish habitat. Beaver reintroduction has yielded three established pairs and increased water levels. The plan relies on natural propagation to restore duck breeding and water availability across connected creeks.
