The Glenbow Ranch Park Foundation is sponsoring a talk with a renowned water conservation expert entitled “Nature based solutions - Adapting to climate change” on Nov. 6 from 6 to 8 pm at Haskayne Legacy Park Pavillion.
This is a free event but organizers are asking interested attendees to register on the foundation’s website: grpf.ca.
Trout Unlimited Canada is using nature-based solutions to restore watershed function and resilience and recover native biodiversity. This talk will explore the use of bioengineering and low-tech restoration along small streams, and the role this plays in buffering the impacts of disturbance like flood, drought, and fire.
Lesley Peterson is the Director of Conservation with Freshwater Conservation Canada and is based in Calgary. Lesley has been with Trout Unlimited Canada (Freshwater Conservation Canada) for 16 years, holding various positions in that time.
