SUMMARY:Wagner Natural Area Tour - August 22\, 2026
DESCRIPTION:Save the Date! \nJoin us for a botanical nature walk through the Wagner Natural Area from 11am-3pm. This is an opportunity to hang out with other nature enthusiasts and learn more about this local nature gem! \nWhat to bring: \n\nRubber boots\nSnacks/Lunch\nWater Bottle\nMosquito Spray\n\nAbout our Tour Guide: \nDave Ealey has been involved with Wagner Natural Area since 1982\, before there was a Society. As a professional biologist\, Dave has an environmental background\, which helps in coordinating the responsibilities of the Society for site management\, public education and outreach\, and citizen science-type research projects. In recent years\, Dave has been enthusiastic about getting support for hiring of summer students to carry out much of the site and visitor management needed to protect the natural area.\nA little bit about Wagner Natural Area from their website:\nLocated between Edmonton and Spruce Grove\, in the middle of agricultural fields and industrial development\, Wagner Natural Area stands out as a microcosm of boreal forest . Its varied habitats include calcareous fens and marl ponds\, willow swamps\, drier coniferous and deciduous forests\, creeks\, and hay fields. These habitats\, most particularly the fens\, account for the rich diversity of plant life including several wild orchids\, carnivorous plants\, and mosses. Insects\, amphibians \, and birds are abundant\, with larger mammals such as white-tailed deer and moose also inhabiting the area. \nBecause of the moisture content in much of the soil\, it is advisable to have waterproof boots with you when visiting the Natural Area. In the spring and summer\, it is also advisable to have insect repellent with you to fend off any mosquitoes who may find you. While there is no drinking water in the Natural Area\, a Picnic Shelter and Outhouse are provided near the start of the Marl Pond Trail. \nLearn more here: wagnerfen.ca \n
