Nature Calgary and TD Friends of the Environment are pleased to offer these complimentary maps to help you explore and learn about Calgary’s best and most unique birding hotspots. Nature Calgary encourages diverse communities to celebrate the joy of birding and We hope these maps will help to introduce a new generation of birders in our city.

Thank you to TD Friends of the Environment, our translators (Poojan GoHill, Malyssia Blais, Blanca Perez), and local Calgary artist Melody Campbell for assisting in the production of these maps.
