In the face of new and increasing pressures on our Alberta landscapes, the Alberta Emerald Foundation aims to be the catalyst to raise the expectations and performance of environmental stewardship.

The Foundation believes there are many elements that come together to foster and sustain our environment:

• The assurance of the quality of air, water and land
• The preservation of Alberta’s biological diversity; and
• The fostering of knowledge, values and behaviours that will ensure the continuation of a healthy environment.

By celebrating environmental excellence, the Foundation works to raise the public’s awareness of the tremendous growth in these areas.
