About Us
Since our inception as a non-profit in 1997, ACA has directed hundreds of millions of dollars towards thousands of conservation efforts across Alberta, from biological studies on the largest species to the securement of vast tracts of precious habitat.
Every dollar from fishing and hunting license sales and every partnership contributes to the conservation of Alberta's natural heritage. Together we are securing the future of countless species of fish and wildlife and the habitat they call home while providing Albertans with access to a myriad of sustainable outdoor recreation activities.
We love the work we do. From the day-to-day reward of calling the beauty of Alberta's big backyard our "office" to the privilege of working on behalf of Alberta's hunters, anglers and other outdoor recreationists, we consider ourselves lucky to live and work in such a precious place.
We encourage you to find out more about our work and the partnerships that made it possible here on our website, in our annual report, or better still, go see for yourself at any of the 700+ Conservation Sites out there for you to explore. Bring the family and spend an afternoon in the peace and wonder of Alberta's wild side. We're confident you'll think it's worth every penny.
Our Mission
ACA conserves, protects and enhances fish, wildlife and habitat for all Albertans to enjoy, value and use.
Our Vision
An Alberta with an abundance and diversity of wildlife, fish and their habitats; where future generations continue to use, enjoy and value our rich outdoor heritage.
Just cause it's cold outside...
...doesn't mean you have to stay indoors 24/7. Don't go stir crazy this winter.

Winter Chameleon
White-tailed ptarmigans have cleverly adapted to harsh mountain winters. These cool critters change their colour and bury themselves in powdery snow for insulation. But that's not all...
Did You Know...
In the past year, we planted 6.5 km of shelterbelts to enhance winter survival and escape cover for pheasants and other wildlife. More interesting facts in ACA's Annual Report!
