Alberta Land Reclamation
These areas took millions of years to become what we see today. The effects of people's activities across the province can also be seen today. The environmental effects are different in each situation and without conservation and reclamation, problems can worsen. A few examples of the major land disturbances are surface coal mining, surface mining and extraction of oil sands, waste disposal sites and activities such as forestry, pipelining and transportation.
