Nalbeelah Creek Wetlands Provincial Park protects a provincially significant wetland complex with unique geological features. The wetlands formed in an earth-flow crater and evolved into a complex of raised acidic bogs. In addition, the park protects the habitat for Grizzly Bears, one blue-listed plant species (Bog adder’s-mouth orchid) and one blue-listed plant community (Black Cottonwood / Red-osier Dogwood). The wetlands also provide high-value Coho Salmon and Cutthroat Trout rearing habitat.
