Come join us for the first Creek Watch training session in Nose Creek in the Nose Creek Regional Park in Airdrie. We are adding a new testing site along Nose Creek up north in Airdrie to help us understand the health of the creek closer to where it begins and connect with the community of Airdrie.

Our goal is to test the waters and sample the invertebrates of the creek every week until October to help monitor the health of our creek and we need citizen-scientists like YOU to make it happen!

All equipment and instructions are provided, so just bring a pair of your favourite rubber boots and let’s explore the creek together!

Nose Creek Preservation Society is a Non-Profit community group of volunteers. Their mission is to “Speak for Nose Creek” in an effort to preserve the Watershed, Biodiversity, History, and Community Green Space in the Nose Creek Valley.

It is that time of year for the City Nature Challenge. The Calgary Metropolitan Area competes against cities across Canada and the World to make the most Nature observations from April 25-28.  In collaboration with CityNatureYYC we are hosting our BioBlitz in the Balzac area of Nose Creek. Please download the iNaturalist App and start an account ahead of the event, we can help teach you how to use the app on the tour.

CrossIron Mills Mall has graciously allowed us to park in their parking lot for this event. We will be parking in the Northwest corner of their parking lot, nearest to the crosswalk to Nose Creek. Please use caution when crossing Bass Pro Way. We will meet on the path at 3pm

The Tour is roughly 3.5km using the existing Pathway System. (should be comfortable for most mobility levels) Please dress for the weather. We expect it to be an hour but will return to the starting point halfway through the tour in case people need to exit early.
