Darken the night sky & support bird migration & wildlife that are active at night with simple actions! Turn off outdoor lights when not needed (esp btw 11pm-6am during migration) Better yet use motion sensor lights that light up only when/where you need it most.

Objects in photo are closer than they appear! Did you know that black bears often visit the Weaselhead? Staying on designated trails helps give them space to survive and thrive.

#CalgaryConnect has shown in areas where there is lots of human activity, most animals avoid the area altogether or shift their use to nighttime. Staying on designated human use trails and staying out of natural areas at night, we can all help wildlife stay comfortable and safe.

Roads can be a big barrier & cause of death for wildlife moving between habitats. Weaselhead values the lengthening of the bridge on the SW Calgary Ring Road to accommodate wildlife movement, maintaining ecological connectivity on either side of the road.

Weaselhead is a popular park for wildlife and people. Dark skies help support a sanctuary for wildlife that use natural areas at night.
