If you are concerned about the destruction of an intact riparian wetland, then this adventure is for you. The more attention we bring to this development, the better chance to save it. By participating in this walk, you help publicize this important issue and bring it to the attention of our decision makers.

This Adventure is suitable for all skill levels. We anticipate spending 1.5 - 2 hours exploring.

Bring good walking shoes that can withstand shallow water. Cameras and binoculars are not required but will help us document what we see.

AWA is thrilled to be offering this Adventure in partnership with the following organizations, who will be on-hand on September 17:

Calgary Climate Hub

CPAWS Southern Alberta
