Join us for a NatureCity Adventure to the Richard

Join us for a NatureCity Adventure to the Richard St. Barbe Baker Afforestation Area, a man-made forest near the Chappell Marsh area off Valley Road. For this guide, three friends (a winter enthusiast, a winter sceptic, and a winter avoider) ventured through the forest to watch birds and identify wildlife. However you feel about winter in our #naturecityyxe, there are tips in this guide to help you have a great experience in nature. Post photos of your adventure and tag them with the #naturecitycontest hashtag to enter the draw for a great winter prize!

The last week has been extremely cold here in #yxe

The last week has been extremely cold here in #yxe. That said, venturing outside in nature has yielded some amazing sights and sounds: steam rising from the South Saskatchewan, crunchy footsteps that sound like a sci-fi soundtrack, and impressive human and canine eyelashes! A few weeks ago, we mentioned that Wild About Saskatoon member Janet McVittie had made it a personal goal to spend 90 minutes outside each day. Janet has continued to log time outdoors throughout the cold snap which has yielded some nice photos and memories for both Janet and Annie the dog. Photo Credit: Janet McVittie

Kevin Wesaquate is one of our distinguished guests

Kevin Wesaquate is one of our distinguished guests at tomorrow evening's NatureCity Conversation: Indigenous Food Sovereignty and Prairie Cities. In 2018, Kevin gathered folks of all ages to plant saskatoon berry bushes along the #meewasintrail as part of the Misaskwatomina project. In these photos from long-before Covid, Kevin (blue shirt) supports youth and others to plant these traditional food plants in public spaces. 271 people have registered so far for tomorrow's conversation about Indigenous Food Sovereignty in Prairie Cities. If you would like to join us, register via www.wildaboutsaskatoon.org/conversations to receive your event link.
