Wildlife Management and the Vision for Recreational Hunting engagement

Albertans helped inform improved wildlife management practices in our province.

Overview

We gathered input on the draft Wildlife Management and the Vision for Recreational Hunting in Alberta to help us modernize our approach to wildlife management and improve recreational hunting opportunities.

By engaging regularly with recreational hunters, outfitters, Indigenous communities and organizations, landowners, and industries, we can work collaboratively to improve recreational hunting regulations and policies so people can enjoy this activity for years to come.
