About The Wildlife Trust Fund
In 1983, the executive of the
Alberta Fish and Game Association had the foresight to see that critical
habitat was disappearing at a rapid rate in Alberta and they set out to
create the Wildlife Trust Fund, the province’s first land trust. Since
those humble beginnings, the Wildlife Trust Fund has grown to include
over 80 properties across the province, that encompass over 34,000 acres
of important fish and wildlife habitat. The Wildlife Trust Fund
Properties are found from the extreme southern reaches of the province
all the way north to Manning. At the heart of the Wildlife Trust Fund
are the members, clubs and zones of the Alberta Fish and Game
Association and these land acquisitions were only made possible through
their generous contributions and tireless fund-raising efforts. There
are currently two acres of habitat conserved in the province for every
Alberta Fish and Game Association member and that number is growing
rapidly, thanks to the members.  |  |
This on-line atlas was created with financial support from the
Minister’s Special Licence Program and the Alberta Conservation
Association. Wildlife Trust Fund properties are open to all forms of
recreation, including hunting, fishing, wildlife viewing and family
outings. In this atlas you will find a description of each property and
the opportunities they afford. Please respect the foot-access-only
policy and any special access restrictions as outlined and please
respect neighbouring landowners’ property. As members of the Alberta
Fish and Game Association, these Wildlife Trust Fund Properties belong
to you and are something to be enjoyed and treasured.
While every
effort was made to ensure complete descriptions of the properties,
please consult county and municipal landowner maps to ensure the
location of the Wildlife Trust Fund property and ensure you have
permission prior to entering adjacent private property. Also note that
some properties do require permission prior to accessing and others do
have additional restrictions you should be aware of prior to entering.
Each
property description and map is available as a down-loadable pdf file.
You will require Adobe Reader to view these files and it is available as
a free download at www.adobe.com.  |  |
The Alberta Fish and Game Association’s Volunteer Stewardship Program is
a great way to become involved with the Wildlife Trust Fund. We rely
heavily on these volunteers to monitor and report on these properties so
they can be managed effectively. For more information on this program,
please visit www.afga.org or call the Alberta Fish and Game Association
head office at 780-437-2342 and ask for one of the habitat staff.
