SUMMARY:ReWilding\, a Story of Fish Creek Restoration
DESCRIPTION:The April Fish Creek Speaker Series  \nReWilding\, a Story of Fish Creek Restoration\nPresented by Drew McKibbon\, Friends of Fish Creek Tour Guide \nFish Creek Provincial Park is a rare gem set within one of the most populous and fastest growing cities in Canada\, but its nature must be managed within the urban setting and protected from a crush of users. Join Friends of Fish Creek Tour Guide Drew McKibbon for both an introduction and an update on one of the Friends’ current and most important objectives: the restoration and preservation of the creek’s ecosystem. ReWilding Through Restoration is a long-term program reaching back to 2012\, when the biological integrity of the riparian land one kilometer upstream from the Bow River was studied. Defined by the creek’s banks and active floodplains\, that land was found to be threatened by recreational use and invasive plant species. ReWilding Through Restoration is preserving and restoring the creek’s riparian health by helping park users understand this important issue\, and by cultivating native plants. ReWilding Through Restoration is as much about you as it is about the park. \nRegister through Eventbrite \nPelican photo courtesy of Maddy Misfeldt

SUMMARY:East Coast Exploration
DESCRIPTION:East Coast Exploration – Newfoundland \n\n“Stay where you’re to ‘til I comes where you’re at…”  \nThursday\, November 22\, 2018 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm\nPresented by Julia Millen\, Acting Community & Partner Relations Team Lead – Alberta Environment and Parks \nEnvironmental Learning Centre\, Shannon Terrace\, Fish Creek Provincial Park – 13931 Woodpath Rd SW \nWhen the sun rises at the eastern edge of North America\, on one of the “four corners of the world”\, the first land to see the break of day is Newfoundland. It is one of the best places to see and appreciate nature in all its glory. Dramatic coastlines\, sweeping barrens\, boreal forests\, tuckamore\, and ancient rock formations make up the natural\, wild beauty of this place. The living landscape holds its own wonder – teeming with seabirds\, moose\, caribou\, and whales. Mix that in with the colourful history and culture for an experience that will never be forgotten. Julia has made it a quest to visit as many of Canada’s National Parks and National Historic Sites as she can. This past summer she added several to her list\, including backpacking the Long Range Traverse in Gros Morne National Park\, and will share her Adventures on November 22. \nRegister through Eventbrite \nPhoto courtesy of Julia Millen

SUMMARY:Alberta Native Bee Council
DESCRIPTION:The February Fish Creek Speaker Series\nAlberta Native Bee Council\nThursday\, February 28\, 2019 \nFish Creek Environmental Learning Centre\, Shannon Terrace\, Fish Creek Provincial Park\n13931 Woodpath Rd SW Calgary\, AB T2W 5R6 (access via 139 Ave and 37 St SW) \nPresented by Megan Evans\, Alberta Native Bee Council \nAlberta has over 300 native bee species but most research and attention is focused on a handful of managed species. Our native bees face many of the same threats as managed bees in addition to competition for food caused by the increasing presence of non-native\, managed bees. More awareness of the diversity and \nconservation issues surrounding our native bees is needed. \nIn 2017\, the Alberta Native Bee Council was formed. The mission of the ANBC is to promote conservation of native pollinator communities through research and monitoring\, advocacy\, education\, and collaboration to realize healthy and resilient native pollinator populations and habitat in Alberta.  \nAdmission is free to Friends Members and $10 each for non-members. Youth 16 years of age or younger can attend free of charge with registered adult.  \nRegistration is required.  \nRegister through Eventbrite \nPhoto courtesy of Megan Evans

SUMMARY:Call of the Wetland
DESCRIPTION:Call of the Wetland – Combining Science\, Nature and Community for the Health of Calgary’s Wetlands\nThursday\, April 18\, 2019 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm\nFish Creek Environmental Learning Centre Shannon Terrace\, Fish Creek Provincial Park \nPresented by Nicole Kahal\, Conservation Analyst\, Miistakis Institute \nCall of the Wetland is a citizen science program that calls Calgarians to action by surveying local wetlands for amphibians as an important indicator of ecological health. With its third season launching mid-April\, Call of the Wetland will gather the data needed so the state of our urban wetlands can be better understood\, and to inform wetland conservation. Fifty-two wetland locations are surveyed through out the city\, many of which can be found along the Calgary Greenway path. Volunteers record observations about amphibians like frogs\, toads and salamanders in wetland sites located in Fish Creek\, North Glenmore Park\, Discovery Ridge\, and Nose Creek\, among many other natural areas. Since 2017\, 180 volunteers have conducted 716 wetland surveys\, and they cite a personal interest in wetlands\, a desire to contribute to science\, and a desire to spend time in nature as the most popular reasons for helping. Join Nicole Kahal from the Miistakis Institute to learn more about this citizen science project\, and how you can get involved to answer the call of the wetland! \nRegistration Is Required. \nFree for Friends Members and $10.00 for Non-Members.\nFree for Youth 16 Years of Age and Younger with Registered Adult. \nRegister through Eventbrite \nPhoto courtesy of Kris Kendell

SUMMARY:Speaker Series: A look into Learning Naturally
DESCRIPTION:Getting out into nature makes memories for the rest of our lives\, but having the opportunity for exploration can be hard to come by for some schools and families. Through the Learning Naturally Program\, students from areas in need get the chance to learn about the wonders of the natural world and the importance of environmental conservation through field trip programs\, and build lifelong connections to their local environment for both themselves and their families. \n\n\n\nAt our June 26 Speaker Series\, you’ll learn all about this program\, how it started\, what it brings to the community\, and some important insights on continuing to deliver nature programming to kids who may not have gotten the chance to participate otherwise. Join us for a presentation by co-presenters Katrina Terrill\, Executive Director of the Friends of Fish Creek Provincial Park Society\, and Kayla Campbell\, former Learning Naturally Coordinator with the Friends. \n  \n\n\n\n\n\n\nClick to purchase tickets on Eventbrite
