Natural areas

Are you allowed to hunt "natural areas"?

Go to the online "Guide to the Hunting Regulations" on this site (home page)

Under "General Regulations" click on "Restricted Areas" and go down to "Natural Areas" It will answer your question.

I am not sure what is going on now with the "Volunteer stewardship program" with Natural Areas. But there are(or were) people or groups who volunteer to kind of "look after" a natural area. I have seen where some of the volunteer stewards have put up their own "un official" no hunting signs when they don't think hunting should be allowed on "their" area.

My experience is there is little stewardship of natural areas going on. ATV's operate with impunity in natural area's that are signed by the province, prohibiting motorized vehicle use. Yeah, in the regs hunting in natural areas is permitted, there are a couple exceptions I know of though. The St. Albert Riverlot and Sherwood Parks natural areas are deemed no hunting.
