Come visit us at @CalgaryHumane #dogjog in North Glenmore Park today. We'll be educating folks on dog etiquette: keeping dogs on leash and out of the water, staying in designated trails and picking up after your pets as apart of our #RippleEffects Campaign.

Thank you to everyone who came to clean up the pathways and river area of Weaselhead today! We wouldn't have been able to remove all this garbage and plastic without your help!

Check out what we saw at the Weaselhead during the #CityNatureChallenge this year.
While some species didn't seem as far long as they were last year, plants are still starting to emerge, and birds are returning!

Weather in #yyc was a bit better today for the #CityNatureChallenge. Less wind, more snow, but still got out to document some pond life:

It's #NationalVolunteerWeek
Our Stewardship #Volunteers are our "Boots on the Ground"
They provide a presence on the land on a regular basis by hiking designated trails & recording information
regarding park users, areas of concern & plant/wildlife sightings.
Thank You!
