THANK YOU to all the volunteers who came out to help with our park clean-up day. We had record numbers this year with over 90 people joining in… a reflection of how much Calgarians love the Weaselhead! If you use the Park and love it too – why not join our Society? Lifetime membership is only $25 and you can now pay online…. Add your support to those who wish to preserve this area as a public park for all to enjoy…
Interested in learning more about the fauna and flora you find in the Park? Search our extensive species database for information on identification, life history, locations etc. and photos. (Many species are missing photos – if you can fill in the gaps with one of yours we would be very grateful! Please email weasel@theweaselhead.com)
Now spring has finally arrived the Invasive Plant Program is underway once more. Lots of volunteer opportunities! For a description of the types of activities available click here; and for dates see upcoming events.
Also underway are the Society’s outdoor field-trips. Look out for schoolchildren pond-dipping, hunting for simple and compound leaves, or studyig decomposers…. If you are a teacher and want to make a booking (or are just interested!) go to our education page for details of the programs and availability..
The cost of transport to bring children on field-trips can be prohibitive for some schools The Society is raising funds to help – why not make a donation and give more children a chance to learn about nature outside?
For schools that can’t come to the Weaselhead for a field-trip for whatever reason the Society has recently started offering indoor programs that allow children to study of living plants and animals in the classroom… for more information and how to book see our education page.
