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

SUMMARY:GivingTuesday!
DESCRIPTION:Tuesday\, November 30 is GivingTuesday!\nAs we look forward to kicking off the holiday shopping season by enjoying Black Friday and Cyber Monday sales\, the Friends of Fish Creek invite you to celebrate GivingTuesday! GivingTuesday is a global movement to encourage a spirit of philanthropy and giving back within our community.  \n  \nThis GivingTuesday\, the Friends are raising funds for our Learning Naturally Family Nature Day program \n \nTo support our community engagement goal of fostering responsible and informed park usage\, while also providing more opportunities for members of the public to connect with each other and with nature\, we will are planning to host Learning Naturally Family Nature Days in Fish Creek starting in 2022. This new program format was piloted in November 2019 and re-tweaked with covid protocols for our Living with Beavers Day in October 2020\, but has not been hosted since then due to the public health situation. \nFamily Nature Days will combine pop-up outreach stations focusing on a variety of topics including relevant conservation messaging\, small-group guided walks\, campfires and hands-on activities like scavenger hunts. Family Nature Days may take place at a variety of Fish Creek Provincial Park day use areas\, pending construction plans\, washroom availability and other factors\, and provide an amazing opportunity for people from diverse communities to enjoy the park. Individuals who may not be familiar with all the park has to offer\, new Canadians\, those with disabilities or who have reduced mobility or other limiting factors\, members of youth groups\, seniors\, and many others can all benefit from the Friends’ Family Nature Day program. \nHelp support the Learning Naturally Family Nature Day program in Fish Creek on GivingTuesday with a tax deductible donation. Consider donating $20\, $50\, $100 or even $300 towards this educational and interactive program. A contribution of $300 will support one Family Nature Day in Fish Creek and provide up to 100 community members with a unforgettable learning experience. \n  \n

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:Calgary Captured
DESCRIPTION:Calgary Captured – Urban Wildlife on Film\nThursday\, March 21\, 2019 7:00 pm – 8:00 pm\nFish Creek Environmental Learning Centre Shannon Terrace\, Fish Creek Provincial Park \nPresented by Vanessa Carney\, Calgary Parks\, The City of Calgary \nVanessa Carney is a landscape ecologist with Calgary Parks\, investigating questions around how we can improve our approach to planning and management of urban parks to protect biodiversity. Calgary Captured\, developed as part of The City’s 2015 BiodiverCity strategy\, is helping to fill in gaps in The City’s collective knowledge around which wild species are successfully making a living in Calgary’s natural spaces and how well The City is doing in terms of planning for and maintaining healthy\, connected ecosystems to support habitats and the species that rely on them. Camera images of wildlife found across the city in 13 municipal parks and Fish Creek Provincial Park provide data for this program. Vanessa will share the results and insights from Calgary Captured\, highlighting findings from cameras placed in Fish Creek Provincial Park. This presentation will also examine how Calgary Captured data from Fish Creek Provincial Park compares with citywide patterns of bobcat\, coyote\, moose and others species detections.    \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 \nPhotos courtesy of Vanessa Carney\, graphic courtesy of pixabay.com

SUMMARY:ReWilding Through Restoration Walking Tours
DESCRIPTION:ReWilding Through Restoration Walking Tours\nMany areas within Fish Creek Provincial Park suffer from the intensity of human use; this is particularly the case along the banks of Fish Creek where human activity can contribute significantly to an overall decline in ecosystem health. Join the Friends of Fish Creek to learn about how this happens and how we work to engage the community at large to “ReWild” the park through hands-on stewardship work. \nThis walking tour will be mainly on flat\, paved trails\, with a walk of approximately 2km round trip. \nPlease remember to dress for the weather and wear good walking shoes in case the tour takes us on uneven ground. Sunscreen\, water\, bug spray\, umbrella and a hat are also recommended so that you are ready for any kind of weather. \n$5 per person. Register Through Eventbrite \nMeet at the Friends of Fish Creek office (the Cookhouse) in the Bow Valley Ranch area of Fish Creek Provincial Park. \nTour guide Tobin Benedict has always had a very strong connection with nature. She grew up going camping\, hiking\, skiing and loved doing anything in the outdoors. In high school\, she started to learn about the environmental degradation and exploitation facing the world\, and this lead her to pursue her passion for nature through studying Environmental Science at the University of Calgary. She believes that conservation starts with learning how to respect and love yourself and then you will want to respect and love the planet you live on. This is Tobin’s first year as a Friends’ Tour Guide!

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
