Join us for a conversation about Saskatoon's urban

Join us for a conversation about Saskatoon's urban wildlife!
On March 23, join Katie Harris and Dr. Ryan Brook of the University of Saskatchewan as they provide an overview of Saskatoon’s very first long-term, large-scale urban wildlife monitoring study. This will include a discussion on the issue of urbanization, its impacts on wildlife biodiversity, and some of the ways that wildlife are adapting to our ever-urbanizing world. Be prepared for surprises!
Did you know that, thanks to Katie's research, Saskatoon has become just the second city in Canada to join an international research project, the Urban Wildlife Information Network, or UWIN? Wild about Saskatoon is proud to support her important project.
To join us and to receive reminders and a link to our Conversation Livestream, please register for the event on Eventbrite (link in bio).

You likely know your [human] neighbours: the couple with a bunch of grandkids and the woman on the corner who aces Halloween decorations. But do you know your wild neighbours?
Our #naturecityyxe is filled with urban wildlife. If you know what to look for, signs of their activities and families are everywhere. The presence of wildlife in a city raises important question: How do we design our cities, educate residents, and live with wild animals? University of Saskatchewan PhD student Katie Harris is helping to address some of these questions with her Saskatoon-based network of urban wildlife cameras.
In this Nature City Adventure, we invite you to get out and about. Look for signs that some of the wildlife Katie’s cameras have photographed are near you or perhaps commuting through your neighbourhood. You can find this guide and more details about Katie's research on our website (link in bio to all Adventure Guides)

Our newest Wild About Saskatoon Adventure Guide is

Our newest Wild About Saskatoon Adventure Guide is to the Wanuskewin Heritage Park. At the Northern edge of our #naturecityyxe, Wanuskewin is a potential UNESCO World Heritage Site and a beautiful and impressive place to learn about the culture and history of the Indigenous people who have lived near and enjoyed this place for a very long time.
A special piece of land where the Opimihaw Creek meets the South Saskatchewan River, Wanuskewin is a peaceful and beautiful place to spend time in Nature. Janet recently went out to Wanuskewin and wrote this Guide to help you plan your day at the park.
You can find this latest Adventure Guide posted with the rest of our Guides on our website (link in bio).

In June, Wild About Saskatoon hosted our first Saskatoon Garden Tour of 2022. A group of excited and keen to learn gardeners toured multiple #pollinatorparadiseyxe gardens throughout our #naturecityyxe. The tour provided a great opportunity to ask questions and gain inspiration for your own native plant beds.
Because many of our host gardens have limited space, the tours have limited capacity. Our August 6 garden tour is already full but we are still keen to share links, resources, and information about the wildflowers that you can see in our city.
Check out our recent Adventure Guide to Wildflowers in the City for a recap of our June tour with links to help you learn more about native wildflower possibilities for your garden and some tips to get you started.
You can find the newest guide on our website under Adventure Guides (link in bio).

We are both happy and sad to announce that the Pollinator Paradise tour on August 6 is fully subscribed. Happy, because so many people are excited about native plants and want to learn more. Sad because we cannot accommodate everyone who wants to attend.
As compensation, check out our write-up about the June tour, including helpful sidebars about plants for shady locations, a how-to on getting rid of lawns and a list of sources for seeds and bedding plants. It's all here: https://wildaboutsaskatoon.org/city-wildflowers/
