Calgary’s North Glenmore Park is made up of a variety of ecosystems, and those who participate in an upcoming walking workshop will discover how various plants interact with, and move through, their landscape.
The activity will pay a visit to the trails that wind through its Aspen Forest, and while they do, they can view areas being remediated by its Invasive Plant Program. The session is best suited to adults, and while children may attend, they need to be accompanied by an adult.
During the walk, the facilitator will discuss how many non-native garden plants can outcompete native species for food, light and water, which allows them to spread quickly. The attendees will also find out how natives have adapted to local growing conditions, and live in harmony with the other flora and fauna that make up their ecosystem. The route will be approximately three miles long, and everyone is reminded to wear suitable footwear and dress for the weather.
An outdoor activity such as a hike or guided walk can provide an immersive experience and an opportunity to get back to nature. A flyer printing company can supply budget-friendly marketing options to event organizers.
The Weaselhead Preservation Society has scheduled its “From Gardens to Forests: How Plants Travel” ramble for June 14th. The meet-up point will be located at the Weaselhead Natural Area Parking lot.
