Alberta Chapter

—

Welcome to the Alberta Chapter of the Canadian Land Reclamation Association. We are Alberta’s oldest environmental non-profit organization. We represent reclamation and environmental practitioners from many different disciplines.

Our chapter is a vibrant part of the reclamation movement within Alberta and includes private and corporate members alike. Our membership includes consultants, regulators, and service providers that work in a variety of industries, such as energy, mining, forestry, transportation, renewables, and agriculture.

The Alberta CLRA Chapter actively participates with mentorship programs and provides scholarships for all post-secondary institutions with an interest in reclamation.
