The Waterton Natural History Association  was formed in 1983, becoming the first co-operating association in Western Canada.  From its inception, the WNHA has served to do those things outside the Parks Canada mandate while, at the same time, working closely with that  federal agency to inform the public about the natural wonders of Waterton Lakes National Park.

We are a not-for-profit, director-driven  organization which means while we strive to make money, we reinvest all of our earnings into additional educational products such as publications, displays, group natural history presentations and the like. 

We operate out of three facilities:  our Heritage Centre, located at 117 Waterton Avenue in the park townsite; our business office at 306 Waterton Avenue and the Crooked Creek Campground, six kilometres outside the park.

Our Mission as a not-for-profit organization is to promote the preservation, understanding and appropriate use of Waterton Lakes National Park through education, publications, retail and museum services and volunteerism.
