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! #yyccleans #yyc #calgaryparks #weaselheadpark @calgaryparks.bsky.social

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! www.youtube.com/watch?v=__KV...

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

Beautiful hoar frost in the Weaselhead last week, when Calgary was blanketed by it. 📷 President Yves Dansereau #yyc #hoarfrost #winter #canada

Due to the current water situation in Calgary, the Glenmore Reservoir will experience higher than usual level fluctuations for this time of year This results in unsafe ice conditions Remember: ⚠️ Reservoirs are not Lakes 💧Water flows in and out 💧Ice forms unevenly 💧Levels rise and fall 💧Cracks occur

#HappyNewYear from the wildlife of the Weaselhead!

Another great year! We would not be able to accomplish what we do without our wonderful volunteers, partners and sponsors! Thank you! www.youtube.com/watch?v=Kaw8...
