Connecting Alberta’s environmental groups

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.

Join the network

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. 

Introductory Solar Energy Course in March

From: Gordon Howell, Howell-Mayhew Engineering, Inc.

I thought you might be interested in the introductory solar energy course that I am teaching at the Edmonton Public School Board in March. I have attached the flyer for it. The February course booked up quickly so the School Board wanted to know if we could put on a course in March and again in late May!

The course covers solar electricity, active and passive solar space and solar water heating, and Solarwall solar air heating. It also briefly touches on solar illumination, fuel cells, engine generators and ground-source heat pumps, because of a lot of people ask questions about these technologies. Read More

Environmentally Significant Public Grasslands Sold for Wind Farm

Alberta Wilderness Association

News Release: January 25, 2006

The Alberta Government is once again trading away Alberta's grassland heritage for private gain without public input. Alberta Wilderness Association (AWA) recently learned that Soderglen Ranches Ltd. public land leases are being converted to deeded lands to accommodate a wind farm. AWA has said for many years that environmentally significant public land should not be sold. Its cultural and ecological value exists for the benefit of all Albertans.

"If Alberta can approve such land trades for this development, no environmentally significant public land is safe from being sold to wind power developers in Alberta," says Cliff Wallis, AWA Past-President. Read More
