It began in 1992 when Nature Alberta self-published and distributed the Atlas of Breeding Birds of Alberta. The experience gained from this project has led to our involvement in the development and distribution of several other publications and, since then, Nature Alberta has collaborated with member clubs, government agencies and individuals to produce several additional natural history books. Here’s a snapshot of a couple of our recent publications:
Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas of Alberta: A Nature Alberta ChecklistAlberta has abundant natural areas that support a broad range of birds and wildlife. The Important Bird and Biodiversity Areas (IBA) program is one way in which we help support and promote the protection and conservation of these natural areas that are essential habitat for bird populations, which have been shown to be effective indicators of wider biodiversity. The Important Bird and Biodiveristy Areas Checklist introduces you to Alberta’s IBAs, and highlights a fascinating piece of our province’s natural history that we hope you will take the time to learn about, experience and enjoy.

Nature Alberta has been publishing some form of a quarterly newsletter since 1971. Eventually our newsletter evolved into our Nature Alberta Magazine. Our historical newsletters contains a wealth of information about Alberta’s natural history with articles written by many of Alberta’s well-known expert and amateur naturalists alike. We have scanned and uploaded the first 25 years of newsletters and are pleased to share these archives with you. Read them here >>
