About ACE

The Association of Conservation Engineers (ACE) is an international professional organization of engineers and others in related disciplines who work with the natural environment and promote the application of sound engineering practices in the field of natural resource protection and recreation development.
Founded on March 6, 1961, in Washington, D.C., the organization’s objective is to bring together the knowledge and experience of engineers and other personnel employed by conservation and recreation agencies and consultants who have a community of specialized interests in the areas of fish, wildlife, parks, forests and related conservation and recreation fields.

Our Four Objectives

  • To encourage and broaden the educational, social and economic interests of engineering practices.
  • To promote the recognition of the importance of sound engineering practices in fish, wildlife and recreation development. 
  • To enable each member to utilize the experiences of other members. 
  • To generally take all such proper action that may be necessary to further the cause of fish, wildlife and recreational developments.
