Hicks Conservation Land

Hicks Conservation Land, located near Uncas in the Beaver Hills Biosphere, offers quiet Aspen Parkland trails where travellers can slow down and reconnect with nature. This 149-acre natural area showcases the Beaver Hills’ distinctive knob and kettle terrain, with winding paths that lead through mixed forest and open spaces. Visitors can follow the trails toward wetlands, where patient observers may spot beavers working in the water, frogs calling from the reeds and moose moving through the trees. The property is stewarded and held by the Edmonton Area Land Trust and the Nature Conservancy of Canada, helping protect this peaceful landscape for future generations. Hikers can enjoy an unhurried escape into nature’s sights and sounds, with space to breathe, listen and explore at their own pace.
