In 2002, a group of citizens formed the Camrose Wildlife and Greenspace Stewardship Project. The committee is comprised of people from the Wildrose Outdoor Club, City of Camrose, Ducks Unlimited, University of Alberta – Augustana Campus, Camrose Ski Club, the Camrose and District Fish and Game Association, and the Camrose Rotary Club. With funding from the City and Fish and Game Association, and in-kind support from Augustana and Ducks Unlimited, the committee hired a stewardship coordinator each summer since 2002.

In the first year, we conducted species and habitat assessments and measured public support. In the fall of 2002, a preliminary Wildlife Stewardship Plan was endorsed by the Camrose City Council. In this plan, we presented results from a survey that showed that Camrosians had significant interest and support for wildlife:
93% of Camrosians enjoyed wildlife form their home or on an outing (76% attracted wildlife to their property)
93% of Camrosians supported wildlife stewardship projects (33% would volunteer; 17% would sponsor)
For the past years, we have conducted educational events, analysed policy, implemented stewardship projects, and continued wildlife monitoring.
