Group nature programs for adults and seniors
We offer a variety of nature programs designed for adult and seniors groups.
Guided Nature Walks (all ages)
Explore one of Calgary's amazing parks or greenspaces! An environmental educator will guide you through your favourite natural area in the season of your choice - you pick the date and location. We will work with you to customize the program based on your group's needs and interests. Activities will include historical fun facts and plant and wildlife identification.
Length: 1 hour
Location: Any City of Calgary park or green space
Cost: $104, maximum 30 participants
Tree Workshops
Right Tree, Right Location
Join us for an in-person information session on how to choose the Right Tree for the Right Location, and learn how to plant and care for a new tree in your yard. The information sessions are approximately 1.5 hours long and feature a Q&A session with an Urban Forestry Technician who will offer advice and answer any tree-related questions or concerns. Space at each session is limited and the content at each session will be the same; please sign up for one session only.
