Birdability Week

Birdability Week is a program that highlights the importance of making nature accessible to everyone, regardless of ability.
From Birdability Instagram:
"Birdability Week matters because everyone has the right to enjoy nature. Because everybody matters. Because diversity enriches all of our lives. Because disability is a normal and natural part of life. Because including everyone makes our society stronger. Because everyone should have access to the beauty of nature. Because we have never needed each other more than now.
"These words came from our Birdability Captains, who are leading this movement in their communities. Why does Birdability Week matter to you?
"This is why Birdability Week exists: to raise the visibility and status of disabled birders, to create space for belonging, and to focus our collective attention on access and inclusion in birding. Together, we’re building a birding community where everybody and every mind belongs."

Uncovering the Natural History of Alberta's Bats
Thursday, October 30 at 7 p.m.
Bats are among the most common yet misunderstood wild animals in our communities. As nocturnal predators of night-flying insects, they provide vital ecological services, contribute billions to the North American economy, and even help save human lives. Despite their importance, bats face growing threats and are now among Alberta's most imperilled animals. Join us to explore the natural history of Alberta's bats — who they are, why they matter, and what's being done to protect them.

CitSci Alberta Hub
The Citizen Science Alberta Hub is a platform for accessing resources, collaborating, and sharing citizen science projects, events, resources, and success stories. On the Resources page we shared last month, you'll find the Citizen Science Principles of Good Practice. The six Principles are intended to serve as a foundation for ongoing conversations and collaboration when using citizen science, and to address information and knowledge gaps across the province. The Principles can provide you with guidance for designing, implementing, and evaluating citizen science initiatives.
