Alberta Conservation Association
Conserve, protect and enhance have been part of our DNA since we formed in 1997. Traveling thousands of kilometres in -40C weather tracking wolverines or working to secure spawning habitat for world class brown trout can be a typical day. Pick a project from ACA's fish, wildlife or land resource programs and conservation can be defined knee deep in muskeg, sweat and mosquitoes. While the core of our work has remained consistent, how we do our work has changed over 25 years—from adopting drones and solar-powered off-site watering technologies to engaging new audiences and creating new opportunities between landowners, municipalities and industry. Its these relationships between stakeholders—the hunters, the anglers and trappers, education and research, the public, corporate partners and landowners—that keeps conservation relevant today.
