Nature enthusiasts and EALT supporters gathered in the Northeast of Edmonton a week ago to experience the uniqueness of a special piece of land that we are working to conserve. Guests could choose from four different tours to experience the land in different ways: a Nature Interpretive tour, an Urban Agriculture Tour, a Lady Flower Gardens tour or a Forest Therapy (Shinrin-Yoku) Tour. If you were unable to attend, take a look at some highlights of the day with our Photo Story.
Thank you to everyone who made the day possible:
Doug Visser (landowner) and Kelly Mills (Lady Flower Gardens).
Heidi Krieger (Walks with Heidi) and Suzanne Klein (The Forest Garden), our Forest Therapists.

The Edmonton and Area Land Trust (EALT), this region’s conservancy, is delighted to be celebrating 10 years of nature conservation in the Edmonton region. We are working with Doug Visser to place a Conservation Easement on his lands, to conserve biodiversity and agricultural lands within Edmonton, in perpetuity.
