    The Parkland region of Alberta was once covered in grasslands and trees but now has little space for plants and animals due to large human populations. It features flat lands, low hills, wetlands, ponds, lakes, and the North Saskatchewan River. The climate is warm in the summer with low rainfall and long, cold winters. Agriculture and oil/gas extraction are important natural resources, while aspen trees, cattails, ducks, moose, frogs, black bears, beavers, and blackbirds live in the region.
