Travel	Moving students to and from the outdoor centres is an ongoing challenge. If you can sponsor or help with any form of travel by providing a van or assistance toward the purchase of vehicles it would be appreciated.
Equipment, Materials	Our Conservation Education centres and our volunteers are always in need of teaching aids such as VCRs, TVs, Flip Charts, Project Wild Kits, Wildlife and Fisheries Identification Kits and related materials.

The challenge is very large. Wildlife and fish are provincial treasures that must remain available for future generations. Education is one important key to ensuring this happens.

Please consider joining together with a large network of volunteers from every area of the province to help Albertans, especially our youth learn about our Wildlife and Fisheries resources and the contribution these resources make to the overall quality of our lives throughout Alberta.

Thank you for your support!
