Management Plan Development

Alberta Conservation Association (ACA) currently manages 414 sites, 391 conservation sites, and 23 fisheries access sites in Alberta. Of these, three new conservation sites were added in 2022/23 by completing two purchases and one eco-gift donation. To manage our conservation assets effectively, ACA develops management plans for all of our sites. We place emphasis on developing detailed habitat management objectives that maintain the ecological integrity of each site while also providing recreational opportunities to the public. ACA works with our partners to develop management plans that are used as guiding documents for overall site management. These plans provide specific details regarding site features, objectives regarding enhancement or restoration, recreational and facility enhancements, guidelines, and other planned activities for the site. Management plans are reviewed by ACA and our partners as required or on a term basis (e.g., after five or ten years) to ensure we are meeting our intended goals and objectives. In 2022/23, we developed 14 management plans.
