Get 50% off Fish, Fur, & Feathers: Fish and Wildlife Conservation in Alberta: 1905-2005 in Nature Alberta's Online Store now. Use discount code book01 at checkout. 

Published by Nature Alberta, this hardcover book is about the people, personalities, events and philosophies that shaped fish and wildlife conservation in Alberta during its first century. Journey from the early game guardians, park wardens, and game preserves established before the province was out of the cradle, through the age of commercial fishers, trappers and the fur farmers' contribution to a growing economy, to today's academics, biologists, harvesters and conservation groups working to keep fish and wildlife a part of the Alberta landscape. We have benefited greatly from the wisdom and foresight of those who have come before us. This is their history.
