The Alberta Environmental Network (AEN) connects Albertans and environmental groups that are dedicated to preserving and protecting Alberta’s environment. As a non-profit and non-partisan organization, the AEN supports collaboration of the environmental community throughout the province.
We are a network of individuals and groups working together on shared concerns. AEN members include individuals and representatives from member groups that connect, collaborate and share information.
The AEN is a link between the environmental community and government, industry, the media and all Albertans.
Albertans and environmental groups are welcome to join the AEN as members – there are memberships for both individuals and groups. Members contribute to preserving and protecting Alberta’s environment by sharing information and collaborating on shared issues. Learn more about becoming a member of the AEN.
The AEN supports an inclusive and diverse environmental community for all Albertans.
Here are the latest updates, action alerts and calls for consultations. Contact us to submit your news and have it distributed to the network.
