August Community Science Walk
This month we are going to do something a bit different for our plant and pollinator walk! I would like to invite you all to contribute to the Rare Plants of Alberta Community Science Project! The walk this upcoming week will be at Eagle Child Tipi Ring Site, located on the Kainai First Nation Reserve.
Saturday August 3, 2024 at 1:00pm - 3:00pm at Eagle Child Tipi Ring Site.
We will meet at Naapi's Garden and then drive together to Eagle Child Tipi Ring Site (a five minute drive). We will walk around the site, looking for Purple Geranium and recording photos of neighbouring plants to iNaturalist. We will walk around, taking photos of plants, and learning their cultural significance.
All you will need is a smartphone with a camera and a good pair of shoes. The photos you take of any plants can be uploaded to iNaturalist to participate in the Rare Plants of Alberta Project. We suggest downloading iNaturalist, creating an account, and joining the Rare Plants of Alberta iNaturalist project ahead of time.
The data collected during community plant walks will be used in research at the University of Calgary to investigate the relationships between rare plants and their communities in Alberta.

Hope to see you there!
