Wilderness Areas, Ecological Reserves and Natural Areas Amendment Act (RSA 2000, c. 18).

Amendments made to the principal Act to make provision for the establishment and administration of "heritage rangelands". The Lieutenant Governor in Council may designate as a heritage rangeland any area of public land, or land in respect of which the Minister has entered into an agreement that gives the Crown the right to designate it as a heritage rangeland, in order to ensure its preservation and protection using grazing to maintain the grassland ecology (sect. 3.2.). Certain prohibitions and restrictions respecting heritage rangelands only are introduced.
