Wild Lands Advocate
The Wild Lands Advocate (WLA) is AWA’s news journal, published six times a year. WLA supports wilderness conservation by increasing awareness and promoting action. It reports timely, accurate, and useful news and perspectives about Alberta’s wilderness and AWA’s work. The WLA is available in print and online. The WLA tells the stories of Wild Alberta, the people involved in conservation initiatives, and the challenges facing wilderness protection. Since its inaugural issue, the WLA has also functioned as an ongoing record of wilderness conservation issues in Alberta and of AWA’s work.
