Our Mission
"To be a strong voice and an active champion for the greater appreciation and conservation of Alberta’s natural environment."
Vision
Alberta’s natural heritage is widely enjoyed, deeply appreciated and thoroughly protected.
Goals
To achieve our mission, Nature Alberta:
- helps Albertans increase their knowledge and appreciation of Alberta’s native species and natural ecosystems;
- supports grassroots nature organizations across the province to connect our community through a love of nature;
- inspires the next generation of conservationists through Nature Kids events;
- increases environmental literacy by sustainably publishing a high quality, quarterly, Nature Alberta Magazine;
- advances citizen science through collaboration; and
- provides a unified voice for naturalists on conservation issues.
A Community Connected By a Love of Nature
In 1970, six natural history clubs from across the province joined together to form the Federation of Alberta Naturalists. Known today as Nature Alberta, we serve a membership of 50 grassroots nature organizations representing thousands of individuals, every one sharing a passion for nature.
What We Do
Nature Alberta supports a Nature Network of 50 grassroots nature organizations across the province, runs free Nature Kids events that connect families to nature, advances citizen science, and publishes Nature Alberta Magazine online with no paywall to make nature information and education accessible to all! Our programs and initiatives encourage people to form meaningful connections with nature and empower them to conserve our wild species and spaces.
