Bow Habitat Station

Alberta's First Eco-Park

Description

Alberta's first "eco-park" is a fascinating hands-on classroom where you can learn about the natural environment right in the heart of Calgary. Bow Habitat Station consists of an interpretive Visitor's Center, the Sam Livingstone Fish Hatchery, and the Pearce Estate Park Interpretive Wetland. The Visitor's Center provides an informative array of interactive exhibits, displays, and tours of the working trout hatchery, one of the largest and most important enclosed fish hatcheries in North America. You can watch the process as more than 3 million fish are raised from eggs to fry to fingerlings before being used to stock public waters. Signs and interpretive trails provide fascinating insights into the environment in the wetland area.
