About Bunchberry Meadows (Devon)

Having been virtually untouched for 40 years, Bunchberry Meadows yields some of the last old-growth forests remaining in Central Alberta. Jack pines with a girth of over two meters have been discovered on the property, attracting porcupines, long-tailed weasels and wood frog.

This 259 hectare (640 ac.) plot of land is managed between NCC and the Edmonton & Area Land Trust. NCC acquired Bunchberry Meadows with the assistance of the Government of Canada’s Natural Areas Conservation Program.

What you will be doing

Volunteers will help restore habitat at Bunchberry Meadows by removing an old section of fence and cleaning up an old campsite on the property. Wherever possible NCC works to remove any unneeded infrastructure from the landscape to reduce barriers and hazards to wildlife.
