About the Watchable Wildlife program

During the late 1970s and early 1980s, the Fish and Wildlife Division of Alberta Sustainable Resource Development (SRD) published Alberta's Watchable Wildlife, a series of brochures and posters detailing wild species descriptions and other related material.

The series was used in school classrooms, and by youth groups and outdoor instructors to teach about Alberta’s amazingly rich wildlife heritage. While the Fish and Wildlife Division no longer produces these documents in printed form, information about some of Alberta’s many wild species is still available on the SRD website.
