It's time for another adventure to the Beaver Cree

It's time for another adventure to the Beaver Creek Conservation Area! A wonderful thing about Beaver Creek is that it offers a wide range of sights, smells, sounds, and activities all year long. Soon, the butterflies and wildflowers will give way to the changing leaves and hungry chickadees as fall and winter sets in. Mia Nemeth and Amber Burton from Meewasin have shared their advice and photos for a great adventure at Beaver Creek in our latest NatureCity Adventure Guide. This guide and all others are available on our website (link in bio). #naturecityyxe #beavercreek #meewasin #saskatoon #getoutside #urbanbirding #conservationarea

Several people have written into the Sask Birders

Several people have written into the Sask Birders group recently with reports of Common Nighthawks in different neighbourhoods in our #naturecityyxe. What a distinguished looking bird!

Erin noticed this pop of colour in her #naturecity

Erin noticed this pop of colour in her #naturecityyxe garden. Anyone with a fondness for the insects that commonly appear in picture books might be tempted to identify this butterfly as a Monarch but it is in fact a Viceroy butterfly. The Viceroy is distinguishable from the Monarch by the black bars on it's hind wings. What a glorious guest to have in your #pollinatorparadisexye garden.

Helena has a "wild corner" in her yard with prairie fireweed and prairie mallow that are all a buzz with bees. She loves it! What are your favourite parts of your yard/garden/local park? #pollinatorparadiseyxe #naturecityyxe #saskatoon #nativeplantgardening #pollinatorfriendlygarden Photo credit: Helena Larsen McKay

Wild About Saskatoon member Nikki was recently out picking saskatoon berries with her three year old at the native plant garden by the weir viewing platform. The experience made her wonder how many generations have been enjoying these berries along the river trails that run through Saskatoon. Photo credit: Nikki Moggey
