Celebrate Pollinator Week – June 16!

Join City of Calgary ecologist and native plant expert, Jenna Cross, for an inspiring talk on restoring Calgary’s landscapes to support pollinators. Learn how historic native plant communities can be reintroduced to transform degraded areas—whether along medians, roadways like 16th Ave, or even small underused spaces in your own backyard.

Jenna’s expertise has shaped best management practices now being adopted by municipalities across Canada. She’ll showcase innovative restoration projects in Calgary, explore their ecological benefits, and walk through the process—from site preparation to long-term maintenance by City operations teams.
