The Willmore Wilderness Preservation and Historical Foundation is a registered Canadian charity that was established in 2003. The Foundation is dedicated to preserving the traditions, history, and culture of Willmore Wilderness Park—a vast, untamed expanse in Alberta’s northwestern Rockies.

Through historical research, education, and community development, we safeguard the rich heritage of this region, offering instructional programs that encourage youth and the broader community to embrace the wilderness and its traditions. Our mission extends beyond preservation—our programs foster a connection to the land, promoting a lifestyle that inspires individuals to get “high on life” through outdoor exploration.

Willmore Wilderness Park holds a unique horseback culture that dates back to the Canadian Fur Trade, where generations have traveled the old pack trails, embracing the independence and freedom that come with setting up camp under the open sky. Whether on horseback or by foot, visitors can experience the timeless beauty of the Rockies, feeling truly at one with nature.

The Willmore Wilderness Foundation plays a vital role in rehabilitating historical pack trails, restoring gravesites, and maintaining backcountry campsites, ensuring access to the remote reaches of the Rockies for future generations. By preserving history and promoting regional tourism, we continue to honor the legacy of those who came before us, keeping the spirit of the wilderness alive.

Join us in exploring, protecting, and celebrating one of Canada’s last great frontiers.
