The North Saskatchewan River Valley Conservation Society was established in 2008 to preserve one of Edmonton's most valuable resources. Our goal is to conserve and protect environmentally, historically, and archeologically significant areas in and around the North Saskatchewan River Valley for the enjoyment of all Albertans.
"Natural areas provide a very different function than manicured parks (soccer fields, playgrounds, etc.). They provide critical habitat for plants and animals, support biodiversity, and maintain a high quality of life for Edmontonians. They offer opportunities for education, research, recreation, and inspiration that could not be realized in any other environment. But more than this, they sustain us. Natural areas and the wildlife they support provide us with clean air and water, absorb our waste, control the climate, cycle nutrients, and pollinate our crops." City of Edmonton website
