Get to Know Plants & Pollinators
Join us at Fish Creek – Canada’s largest urban provincial park – where your family or group can enjoy a wide variety of interactive, guided and self-directed activities based around the theme of Plants & Pollinators. Here are some examples of the kinds of activities that will be on offer this month:
- listen to a story by the campfire (weather dependent)
- enjoy a short, guided historical walking tour
- birding and other outdoor activities
- learn about pollinators – birds, bees and other insects
- find out why native plants are so important to the ecosystem
- develop your plant identification skills
- take in a guided sensory experience
- try your hand at nature sketching and colouring for all ages
- meet Wildsmart Ambassadors to learn how to coexist with wildlife
- discover how you can protect the park when you visit
- and much more!
Events are monthly, from February to November, 2022. Dates, times and locations vary throughout the year.
