Welcome

The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area (ASCCA) is a 4,800 acre day use natural area and nocturnal preserve. It is located just southwest of the city of Calgary in Alberta, Canada. The Cross Conservation Area is dedicated to:

• Protecting habitat and providing space for native species of wildlife
• Offering conservation education programs without jeopardizing wildlife and habitat
• Managing human use of the area and limiting impact through a series of guidelines

We are located at 20-194001 160 Street West, Foothills AB T1S 4K9.

We respectfully acknowledge that the Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area is located on the traditional territories of the Blackfoot Confederacy, which includes the Siksika, Piikani, and Kainai Nations. We also recognize the Tsuut’ina Nation and the Îyârhe Nakoda Nations—comprising the Chiniki, Bearspaw, and Wesley First Nations—as well as the Métis Nation of Alberta, Region 3. We honour and respect the diverse Indigenous Peoples who have lived on, cared for, and gathered on this land for generations, and all those who make their homes in the Treaty 7 region of Southern Alberta.
