Paper 3: Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park

Glenbow Ranch Provincial Park was slated to open one year after this interpretive plan was delivered. As a result, it has fewer chapters. To be consistent with Part 2: Fish Creek Provincial Park, the chapters in Part 3 follow the same convention (e.g., the chapters on Features Analysis are numbered FC4 and GR4).

Chapter GR4: Features Analysis

This chapter briefly describes and illustrates the major natural and cultural features identified in the Features Inventories (Appendix 1, 3 and 4). Using clearly defined criteria analyses, we assessed each feature’s value for inclusion in interpretation and education programming, including the inclusion of a visitor centre. Numerous recommendations for moving forward are included.
