In 1970, six natural history clubs joined together to form Nature Alberta (then known as the Federation of Alberta Naturalists). Since then, our membership has grown to include 41 clubs representing over 5000 individuals.

Nature Alberta's greatest strength is our province-wide focus on natural history issues. We are the voice of wild Alberta, keeping you up-to-date on provincial issues. Our quarterly publication, the Nature Alberta magazine, contains wildlife articles of interest to all.

We also market many attractive and informative books that seek to increase understanding and appreciation of nature and natural history in Alberta.

OBJECTIVES

To provide a unified voice for naturalists on conservation issues.

To encourage Albertans to increase knowledge and understanding of natural history and ecological processes.

To organize field meetings, conferences, nature camps, research symposia and other activities.

To promote the exchange of data among clubs and societies.

To promote the formation of new natural history clubs in all areas of the province.

PHILOSOPHY

All Albertans benefit by having access to a healthy, natural environment.

Increased understanding of our natural heritage will lead to increased appreciation and result in greater protection of it.

All native species of animals and plants have a right to co-exist with Albertans.

CODE OF ETHICS
