Valemount, B.C.- The Cranberry Marsh/Starratt  area south of Valemount is now, officially the Cranberry Marsh/Starratt Wildlife Management Area. 

The new designation follows the consolidation of privately owned land, properties owned by Nature Trust of BC and Crown land. 

 Cranberry Marsh is a provincially important waterfowl nesting and resting area.  The area also includes a black spruce bog that is habitat for moose, deer beaver and other wildlife. 

The area already has trails and viewing towers. Ducks Unlimited maintains a wetland enhancement project in the marsh which includes dykes, nesting islands and water control structures
