Friends of Jasper

National Park

 

Since 1983, the Friends of Jasper National Park have been working actively to promote understanding, appreciation and respect for both the natural and cultural history of Jasper National Park.

 

We fulfill our vital role of independent stewards and advocates by providing opportunities for people to interact and connect to our National Park.

 

Through our programs, projects and special events:

  • We increase awareness of the purpose and value of the park.

  • We provide opportunities that instill an appreciation for the complex, fragile environments and the cultural heritage of the Park.

  • We inspire action for protection and preservation of the park.
