Grow the Bow - A Morning of Ecosystem Restoration - Aug 9

Searching for ways to give back to the land and river? Want to learn more about Bow River ecology, while doing meaningful work? Join fellow volunteers in an invasive plant pull.

The slopes of Crescent Heights are one of the most picturesque and well-loved parks in the city. Historically, these flood plain hills were historically rich habitat for songbirds, wildflowers, and berry shrubs, yet pressure from invasive species has taken their toll on native plants community and is damaging this hillside habitat. Still, much remains of value!

Join a work party of fellow volunteers to give back to the landscape that give us life. Working amidst ripening saskatoons and chockecherry, you can spend the morning pulling weeds, replanting natives, learning about local ecology, and bonding with others through shared work.

This project will mobilize trained volunteers, youth, and local organizations, while honouring Indigenous Knowledge, and building long-term community stewardship capacity through citizen science, education, and collaboration with municipal and conservation partners.

All training and equipement are provided. All that's needed is a willingness to learn and to get your hands dirty.

The event is free. It's part of a four part series this summer. Come any or all of the events in this series. We look forward to seeing you there!
