Shoreline Cleanups & Weed Pulls

Join Helen Schuler Nature Centre's made-in-Lethbridge signature conservation program! Help to preserve and protect Lethbridge’s river valley environment by removing garbage and debris from natural areas.

Shoreline Cleanup

The Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup is a national conservation program that provides everyone the opportunity to take action in their communities wherever water meets land, one bit of trash at a time!

This citizen science conservation project tracks each piece of litter collected. Shoreline Cleanups help us to better understand the types of garbage affecting Lethbridge's shorelines.

Check in at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre anytime between 10am-12noon to pick up gloves, a bag, and data sheet, then go for a stroll and track the litter you pick up! T
his works great in teams of 2-3.

When you’re done, return your supplies and your data card and we will submit it as part of the national Great Canadian Shoreline Cleanup database.

10am-Noon each day:

• Saturday June 1

• Saturday July 6

• Saturday August 10

No registration necessary, but it is encouraged so we can plan for enough supplies. Register here.

Invasive Weed Pull Wednesdays

Join the fight against invasive plant species – attend an Invasive Weed Pull event to learn how to identify and remove invasive plant species from Lethbridge's natural areas!

Invasive Weed Pull events help to protect the natural biodiversity of our region. We encourage our community to participate so we can effectively deploy an 'Early Detection, Rapid Response' for prohibited noxious weeds in our river valley.

Meet at the designated location on the corresponding date/time. We provide gloves, bags, and orientation so you know what to look for!

6pm-8pm each day:

• June 19 – Coulee Climb at Helen Schuler

• July 17 – Elizabeth Hall Wetlands

• August 21 – 3rd Avenue hill (meet at Galt Museum parking lot)

No pre-registration necessary, but it is encouraged so we can plan for enough supplies. Register here.
