- **Event Name**: Nose Hill Crocuses, Geology, and Nature
- **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 25 Apr, 2026 at 10:00 am (-06:00)
- **Event Description**: Join our experienced volunteers, Tako Koning and Steven Tannas, to experience the unique geology, botany, history, and natural elements of Nose Hill Park. Revel in some of the first wildflowers of the season, crocuses!

The area is unique because it holds a large amount of native rough fescue grassland ecosystem, which is a rapidly vanishing ecosystem in the province. The planned ecology and vegetation topics of this hike will include a discussion of the fescue grassland ecosystem found on Nose Hill, its long-term ecological functions, key native species, along with threats to this unique ecosystem.

During the hike we will learn some of the defining geological features and history of the park, including glaciations, rock striations, the Nose Hill erratic, and various fossils that can be found. We will discuss how the hill came to exist on the landscape, and the historical uses of the region.

There is no doubt you will find fresh air, many spring flowers and other ecological surprises, and a sense of peace that the hills and time in nature can bring. Nose Hill is home to a wide range of species that we may encounter, such as white-tailed deer, coyotes, boreal chorus frogs, garter snakes, pollinators, and a diverse array of native bird species.
