  • Nature's Wild Backyard
    Born at a crucial time in history, This is the Generation that can Preserve our one and only Planet. HELP US INSPIRE THEM BRIDGING WORLDS Given the seemingly miraculous achievements in bringing species on the brink back to life, modern zoos are sometimes described using a biblical term, “the Ark” – ushering in exciting breakthroughs in genetics and breeding. But there is another, perhaps even more fundamental, role that accredited zoos play that is best described by a more prosaic phrase, “the Bridge.” Today accredited zoos and aquariums worldwide are living bridges between an increasingly urban society and natural habitats threatened by growing human encroachment. Zoos and aquariums teach us about nature and help us envisage a future more sustainable and harmonious than our present, and their professional organizations serve to synergize their efforts and amplify their message. It is through today’s zoos that future generations will come to a greater understanding of the human impact on the natural world and be motivated to preserve it and reverse the damage already done. We at the Edmonton Valley Zoo take that responsibility seriously. NURTURING AN ANCIENT BOND For almost 60 years the Edmonton Valley Zoo has hosted generations of guests seeking to experience the unique bond between humans and the wild animals that we, as a species, have always enjoyed. The Edmonton Valley Zoo has been a starting place on a journey of love, learning, care and respect for thousands seeking to experience the wonder of wildlife. When you visit our zoo we hope you will have an encounter with our animals and our environment that, in some way, changes you – inspires you.

  • Edmonton Valley Zoo
    ABOVEEdmonton Valley Zoo “When you realize the value of all life, you dwell less on what is past and concentrate on the preservation of the future.” ~ Dian Fossey Immersive landscapes are those in which animals and humans alike are enveloped by a common habitat. This approach erases the boundaries and hierarchical divisions between animals and visitors found at conventional zoos. By engaging animals on their own terms and in their own habitats, visitors are better able to understand the high degree of interconnectivity between themselves, the animals they are viewing, and the world around them. Children and adults perceive and engage the world in very different ways. At an elemental level, children operate at a very different scale than their adult counterparts. Unlike adults, children also tend to learn about the world and their place in it with a high degree of physicality: through play. Using immersive landscapes and a ‘children’s geography’ as points of departure, the master plan for the Children’s Precinct pursues four primary gestures of spatial engagement as means of defining a new conceptual framework for the Zoo: Under, Between, On, and Above. These abstract experiential types speak to a wide range of possible means of bodily relation to a given landscape and simultaneously sponsor play as a primary mechanism for engaging that landscape. Building on the master plan for the Edmonton Valley Zoo Children’s precinct, this project develops one aspect of that proposal - the ‘Above Zone’ - as a discrete immersive experience. CONCEPTUAL CHILDREN’S EXPERIENTIAL SPATIAL CORE SUPPORTING FRAMEWORK GEOGRAPHY TOUCHSTONES ARCHETYPES SPECIES SPECIES The Above Building is the first project to be delivered by the Edmonton Valley Zoo based on its 2014 master plan.

  • CPAWS NAB Annual Report 2016
    CPAWS Northern Alberta Annual Report 2016‐17 (DRAFT) Message from the Chapter Fifty years have passed since our grassroots beginnings, and CPAWS Northern Alberta remains true to our foundation as an Albertan‐driven organization that pushes to protect our land and waters for the benefit of wildlife, and people, for generations to come. Our vision is an Alberta that embraces conservation and has a large, connected, protected area network. In May 2016, we released our three part “Alberta’s Caribou: A Guide to Caribou Range Planning, and we continue to pressure the government to include protected areas in the draft range plans for Alberta’s 15 caribou herds. These plans are set to be released in late October. Our primary campaign of the year has been our Love Your Headwaters campaign, our push for protection of the Bighorn Backcountry, headwaters of the North Saskatchewan River. This campaign is in partnership with the Yellowstone to Yukon Initiative (Y2Y). Our goal is to build public support for protection of the area and bring that support to the Minister of Environment and Parks in the form of a petition by the end of the year. This year saw a large change over in staff. Our Executive Director Alison Ronson started a new position at the CPAWS National Office in Ottawa as National Director of the Parks Program. We brought on Kecia Kerr, a former board member with a PhD in ecology as our new Executive Director. Our Conservation Planner Danielle Pendlebury took a position with the Government of Alberta, and Ellyn Davidson, who was on a temporary contract, has filled her position.

  • Edmonton Valley Zoo Joins Effort to Protect Endangered Frogs December 3, 2019
    Edmonton Valley Zoo joins effort to protect endangered frogs December 3, 2019 The Edmonton Valley Zoo is leaping at the chance to be part of a program to save northern leopard frogs from extinction. The Zoo has received 22 of the highly endangered frogs and plans to establish a permanent conservation breeding population here in Edmonton, whose offspring will be released in a targeted location in British Columbia with the goal of bringing the species back from the edge of extinction. In British Columbia, there is only a single remaining native population of northern leopard frogs located in the Creston Valley, but this population is vulnerable to extinction from habitat loss, disease, and invasive species. The five-month-old frogs came from the Calgary Zoo and are now in quarantine behind-the-scenes at Edmonton Valley Zoo but next year will move into a new public enclosure. Once they begin breeding, the offspring will be relocated to the Columbia . Marshes in southeast British Columbia where we hope to re-establish a wild population​ “Our zoo team has proven expertise in caring for several endangered frog species, so we felt we could make a substantial contribution to this important conservation project,” said Lindsey Galloway, Director of the Edmonton Valley Zoo. “Frogs play an important role in our ecosystems and we know that one third of the world’s amphibian species are at risk of extinction. By playing a role in this program, we know we can help this species recover in our neighborhood.” In addition to the northern leopard frogs, the zoo is home to 13 other species of amphibians.
