Come join us for our
City Nature Challenge
Balzac BioBlitz!
Friday, April 25th at 3:00pm
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.
