Please ensure you consult a county or municipal landowner map to verify the location of the conservation site and double check that you are entering onto the appropriate property. While there is no fee to access these conservation sites, all we ask is that you value and respect the land as much as we do. The conservation sites identified in this guide are either private lands owned by Alberta Conservation Association or our conservation partners (see the Partners listed for each site), or public lands that are managed by Alberta Conservation Association on behalf of the Crown; all are available for public use. A majority of conservation sites in the guide require no permission to access and allow only non-motorized recreational activities including hunting, fishing, hiking, bird watching and photography. However, please be aware that some of the conservation sites listed do have restrictions on permitted activities or require permission before you enter onto the site. For more information visit our website at www.ab-conservation.com. Thank you to our partners This guide was made possible through the support of our conservation partners and Corporate Partners in Conservation who aid in the securement of private land and the enhancement of public land for conservation and recreational opportunities. Several properties featured here have also been generously donated to Alberta Conservation Association by private landowners across Alberta, an enduring legacy for which generations of Albertans will be thankful. We would like to thank the Alberta Fish & Game Association and its affiliated clubs as well as Ducks Unlimited Canada for including a number of their conservation sites in this guide.
