Overview
You can play a role in protecting fish and wildlife resources and our natural surroundings by observing the activity around you.
When you report an incident:
- you could be eligible for a reward for providing information on violations of Alberta’s fish or wildlife laws
- you don’t have to provide your personal information
- any personal information you provide can be confidential
You can remain anonymous. However, investigations are often more successful if you provide your contact information so that an officer can follow up with you for more details.
After you make a report, our Fish and Wildlife officers will then investigate it.
The Alberta Conservation Association funds the reward payments.
