We were invited to give a West Nose Creek tour for the area’s teachers and administrators with the CBE. Lucked out to have @klaszus.bsky.social from @sprawlcalgary.bsky.social bring his mobile printing press to give the groups a print of the 1943 picture of the Beddington Erratic. #SaveNoseCreek

IT'S WHITE SUCKER SPAWNING SEASON! We were lucky enough to have Freshwater Conservation Canada on our Jane's Walk last week. They are spawning now until the long weekend. Grab some polarized sunglasses and you could see them clearly in the creek. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCfish #yyc #Airdrie #Balzac #abpoli

We joined another Jane’s Walk in the Nose Creek Watershed this afternoon. The buried Confederation Creek flows into a channeled part of Nose Creek. Big contrast to this morning’s finds but did see spawning White Suckers! #RaiseConfederationCreek #SaveNoseCreek #JanesWalkYYC #yyc

This Glacial Erratic is on private land. This makes protection, remediation and storytelling difficult. Federal government could bring “natural monument” laws like they have in Finland. Ask your chosen federal candidate what they think. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCerratic #yyc www.cbc.ca/player/play/...

The “Dead Marshes” of Nose Creek. Did you know that Coventry Hills has a Naturalized Stormwater Marsh Area? It’s designed to help filter the storm waters before it reaches Nose Creek. We sometimes get Boreal Chorus Frogs in this marsh. #SaveNoseCreek #DeadMarshes #yyc #LOTR
