Our Mission
The Alberta Botanical Society strives to foster stewardship of Alberta's ecosystems through community outreach and public education.
We take a multi-disciplinary approach and are willing to collaborate with other organizations, universities, governments, industry, and individuals to make this vision a reality.

We aim to incorporate a diverse range of plant-related disciplines and interests into our approach including botany, ecology, genetics, agriculture, forestry, land reclamation, horticulture, landscaping, and gardening.
