Default Donations for habitat conservation

I need some suggestions. I belong to DU and used to donate to their
habitat conservation efforts when they were acquiring property in Alberta for conservation purposes. It seems that they are no longer doing that and it would appear from the AFGA website that they have discontinued that as well.
My question than is this. Is there an organization in this province that is involved in habitat acquisition and conservation and is not an anti-hunting group?
Thanks
Roger

Trout Unlimited, I've been on many of their stream preservation and willow planting volunteer days etc.. Not hunting directly but the results are positive on all wildlife.

AFGA does still accept $$ for Habitat, they have over 30,000 acres on which all Albertans have access to.
Check out https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9OQz5B6aQLc
for 2018 AFGA review, and I believe you can get a tax receipt as well!

I watched the video and found it very informative. AFGA appears to be doing a lot more than when I lived there in the 80's. Forming partnerships with other like minded conservation organizations appears to be paying big dividends in land acquisition and habitat conservation / restoration.

AFGA and ACA combine on many properties ever year to conserve habitat. AFGA clubs and Zones donate thousands of dollars ever year to help with this most important work. we have over 40,000 acres, some in partnership still with DU, and almost all can be hunted on.
