Connecting Alberta’s environmental groups

Join the network

Albertans and environmental groups are welcome to join the AEN as members – there are memberships for both individuals and groups. Members contribute to preserving and protecting Alberta’s environment by sharing information and collaborating on shared issues. Learn more about becoming a member of the AEN.

Big Bow Float Completed - Pictures Available!

Friends of the Bow River,

Together with Jim Kievit, Don Van Hout, and Rocco (our Lead Dog Paddler), I am pleased to announced we have paddled the entire length of the Bow River. After 29 days of hiking & paddling, thousands of paddle strokes, many hot days, and a few hundred mosquito bites, we are finished!

We have just published a complete set of journals and pictures from the entire trip with some fantastic pictures of this beautiful river system. Go to the Trip Progress section, click on sections of the river, read our written reports, and see the pictures!
