There are many locations around Saskatoon that you can visit each Spring to enjoy the beautiful lilac-coloured crocuses; including Cranberry Flats, Crocus Prairie, and Beaver Creek. The Saskatoon Nature Society holds an annual crocus trip each year, this year, the location chosen was the Northeast Swale. Clumps of this early sign of warmer weather dot the low rolling hills of the prairie landscape in April and early May. The Saskatoon Nature Society leads year-round field trips, including botany and birding trips, to explore and educate people on nature in and around Saskatoon. The Society is full of knowledgeable members willing to share facts and experiences. For more information on field trips and becoming a member, check out the SNS website at saskatoonnature.org. The winner of #CrocusCapture will be announced soon!
