Newfoundland & Labrador and Alberta
The Rocky Mountains along the southwestern boundary are largely forested. The southern
quarter of the province is prairie, ranging from shortgrass prairie in the southeastern corner to
mixed grass prairie in an arc to the west and north of it. The central aspen parkland region
extending in a broad arc between the prairies and the forests, from Calgary, north to Edmonton,
and then east to Lloydminster, contains the most fertile soil in the province and most of the
population. Much of the unforested part of Alberta is given over either to grain or to dairy
farming, with mixed farming more common in the north and centre, while ranching and irrigated
agriculture predominate in the south.
The Alberta badlands are located in southeastern Alberta, where the Red Deer River crosses the
flat prairie and farmland, and features deep gorges and striking landforms. Dinosaur Provincial
Park, near Brooks, Alberta, showcases the badlands terrain, desert flora, and remnants from
