Meet some of Alberta’s bats! 🦇 From the tiny 5 g western small-footed myotis to the robust big brown bat, these fascinating insect eaters help keep insect populations in check. They may look unusual (and pretty cute!), but they deserve our respect! #BatWeek #AlbertaWildlife

1/2 Canada is reducing harmful substances in our air and water. Since the 1990s and early 2000s, emissions to air and releases to water of mercury, lead, cadmium and arsenic have declined significantly.

💧🐦 Cooler weather? Keep the bird bath out! Birds still need fresh water for drinking and bathing as temperatures drop. Keep it clean, filled and ready for visitors. 🍂 Are birds still visiting yours? 👀 #TheWildBirdStore #YYCBirding #BackyardBirding

🐝 What if protecting pollinators started on the farm? In Outaouais, Carl Poirier created 2+ hectares of pollinator-friendly habitat, helping protect the #MonarchButterfly. 🦋 Discover his story: ow.ly/aGsc50Zfopj #PollinatorWeek @ALUS_Solutions

In Canada, we don’t just live on the land, we live with it. From the waters to the forests, #EarthDay reminds us to take care of the environment. 🌎💚
