Park Watch Day

The Friends’ Park Watch Stewardship Program has been in existence since 2001, and since then, Volunteer Stewards have actively taken on the role of helping to foster a safe, beautiful and enjoyable natural environment for park users.

Park Watch Stewards provide a visible presence that encourages responsible park use while providing user education and the reporting of important observations via a new mobile Park Watch app to Fish Creek Provincial Park staff and the Friends. Providing assistance and information to park visitors, especially those who may be new to Fish Creek or the city, is one of the most rewarding ways to create awareness and encourage environmental stewardship.

The theme for this Park Watch Day is Recreational Rock Dams. The Friends and our community of volunteers will be at Bebo Grove to provide information to park users. In addition to hosting an information booth, we will be offering a free tour.

 

Natural History and Park Management Philosophy for Fish Creek

• Walking Tour
• 11:00am – 12:00pm
• As a founding member of the Friends, Wayne Meikle will lead a guided walk to the lookout point and share his 30+ years of experience in Fish Creek.

 

Our goal for the day is to provide the public with an opportunity to build a meaningful connection with nature and to learn about Fish Creek through unique experiences and stories. The walking tour is a great options for all ages and less suited for those with limited mobility.

Should you find yourself in Fish Creek on this day, please stop by and say hello!
