Your monthly reminder to teach your kids and network about the historic significance of the Glacial Erratics in Calgary. Quartzite Rock from Jasper, travelled here on glaciers, and sacred sites to the Blackfoot Confederacy. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCerratic #yyc #Airdrie #Balzac #RockyViewCounty

A great snippet of Kristina at her panel this past weekend during the “Understanding Water” event put on by @sustainableyyc.bsky.social and @ucalgary.bsky.social. #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #Calgary #Airdrie #RockyViewCounty #Balzac #abpoli #ProtectOurWaters

It’s SPRING BREAK! If you’re looking for an activity for the kids while they are off school, go check out the Nose Creek Valley Museum in Airdrie! #SaveNoseCreek #Airdrie #RockyViewCounty #Balzac #yyc #Calgary

Bones can be found all up and down the Nose Creek. Our teams seem to be finding them more and more. Historic Bison bones, settler cattle bones and more recent deer bones. We need to do more research in this valley! #SaveNoseCreek #SNChistory #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #abpoli

Great turnout tonight at the Nose Creek ASP. Thank you to all the Creek-Heads who came out to #SpeakForNoseCreek! It early days to this ASP revision, but tonight we gave Nose Creek a voice! #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #yyccc #abpoli #cdnpoli

A lone pronghorn in Calgary Metropolitan Region is pretty rare, so we definitely think it’s the same one moving up and down the Nose Creek Valley. Been watching her move from North Calgary in 2022 to #Airdrie in 2023 and now back down to #Balzac in 2025! #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Calgary

She’s back!?! We believe this is the lone pronghorn that we have been tracking for 2 years. If so, she is STILL making her home in and around the Nose Creek Valley! #SaveNoseCreek #SNCpronghorn #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac

So much more majestic than what’s hitting the gridiron today! #SuperbOwlSunday #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac

Don’t give a HOOT about the sportsing going on today? OWL give you something to cheer about. These guys are the HOO’s HOO of the Nose Creek Valley. #SaveNoseCreek #SuperbOwl  #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie

After a week of deep freeze the grading and stripping has resumed down in the Nose Creek Valley. It’s going to get crowded down there. #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac #yyccc #abpoli #cdnpoli

Neat ice formation providing a little island in the Nose Creek for our corvid bird friends. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCbirds #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac

The Calgary Metropolitan Region might be under Extreme Cold Warnings right now but this region has some of the most dedicated bike enthusiasts. When Nose Creek is solid you see exactly how much people want active mode pathways in this area. #SaveNoseCreek #BikeYYC #yycBike #yyc #RockyViewCounty

What better way to celebrate #WorldWetlandsDay than to sign up for @savenosecreek.bsky.social’s Creek Watch for next season! #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac #yyccc #abpoli #cdnpoli

The Nose Creek Herd were on High Alert 🚨 this evening. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Deer

Nose Creek is the "Gateway to Nature" for many communities and neighbourhhoods along the valley. Preserving a green-belt and finding balance between nature and human activity is vital for this wetland habitat. #SaveNoseCreek #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac

Our society created art last year with the #NCPSmural. However, it sometimes feels like nature creates its own art in the Nose Creek Valley. #SaveNoseCreek #SNCart #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac #yycarts

HEY CREEK-HEADS! Have you ever wanted to just chat about what we do at the Nose Creek Preservation Society? Or want to get involved but don't know how? Come meet-up with Nora McGregor at Mollies Pet Market & Cafe, this Friday Jan 24 @ 3PM! #SaveNoseCreek #SNCevents #yyc #Airdrie #RockyViewCounty

EYE SPY: A neat confluence of wildlife in this picture. A Coyote, a Northern Flicker and a Magpie. Can you spot them all? #SaveNoseCreek #SNCwildlife #SNCbirds #yyc #RockyViewCounty #Airdrie #Balzac #Coyote #NorthernFlicker #Magpie
