The Ann & Sandy Cross Conservation Area is pleased to present its fall lineup of conservation learning opportunities! Please plan to join us for one or more of the following programs.
Find out what's new with the Foothills Land Trust on Tuesday, September 14th from 6:30 to 9:00pm.
This adult program will introduce you to the Foothills Land Trust's new baseline and monitoring templates, database and conservation stewardship calculator that will help conservation in the foothills. Be the first to see these new products generated through grant funding provided by The Calgary Foundation and Alberta Real Estate Foundation.
Learn nature journaling techniques and new ideas with journaling expert Trish Savill, Calgary Board of Education. Splash colour into your nature observations by adding watercolour painting into your journal. Adults should be prepared to be outside and bring your journal on Saturday, September 18th from 1:30 to 4:00pm.
Bring the whole family for a Family Fall Frolic as we play games and explore fall with hands on activities. Learn why leaves change colours, how wildlife prepare for winter and listen for elk bugling as we hike 3 kms on a natural trail on Wednesday, September 22nd from 6:30 to 8:30pm.
Want to know more about the Cross Conservation Area and explore it with the Area's Executive Director of the past 18 years? Adults can join Jacquie on Thursday, October 7th from 6:30 to 9:00pm for this 3.5 km walk during which she will introduce you to this beautiful gift of land, its history, management, concerns, and flora and fauna.
Join Jacquie and Reg of the Cross Conservation Area for a presentation on wildlife friendly fencing on Tuesday, October 19th from 6:30 to 9:00pm. In this adults only program we'll discuss what it is, why it's needed, what the Conservation Area will do with its fences and what you can do to make it easier for wildlife to get around while reducing fence maintenance.
On Thursday, November 4th from 6:30 to 9:00pm join us for a discussion on elk in the foothills. We will talk about elk as a thriving wildlife species, elk numbers, the successful elk relocation program and what you can do to help. Adults only please.
