Bow River Regional Wetland Datasets

The Bow River Regional Wetland Datasets project was developed by the Miistakis Institute to provide new wetland-focused spatial datasets and resources to support municipalities and Indigenous communities in decision making and operations related to wetlands in the Bow River region. The four spatial datasets, created in partnership with Fiera Biological Consulting, include a wetland inventory, potential restorable wetland inventory, historical wetland inventory and land cover and provide accurate, consistent spatial information across the Bow River region. The Miistakis Institute created a website to improve accessibility to the spatial data and technical knowledge on applying wetland information to management and conservation decisions.
