Participants are encouraged to catalogue and take photos of things like insects and birds in their yards and beyond.
This week brings a great chance for Calgarians to give Mother Nature a helping hand.It’s an event organized by the Nature Conservancy of Canada , helping the agency’s efforts to collect information on wildlife and work toward preserving habitat for at-risk species.
“Bioblitzers can take a walk around their city — take a little bit more time to go get that ice cream and observe what’s around you,” the NCC’s Carissa Sideroff said. “And then hopefully as you start to appreciate more nature around you, we can work toward conserving that nature.”People taking part in the event are also asked to send the NCC information on invasive species in their yards and elsewhere.
“Creeping bellflowers are invasive to Calgary, so we should not have them in our backyards,” Sideroff said. “They outcompete other flowers that should be in our gardens.”
