NOSE HILL, A Popular Guide, serves as an educational compendium on the native fescue grasslands, local flora, fauna, archaeology, and glacial history of Calgary's iconic Nose Hill.
This guide is the definitive field handbook to Calgary's iconic urban wilderness, created by the local naturalists who fought to protect it. The book details how this 11-square-kilometre glacial landform survived urban sprawl to remain one of North America's largest municipal parks. Written for both casual hikers and dedicated conservationists, the guide blends ecological science, regional history, and indigenous archaeology into a readable tour of the hill's landscape. The guide takes readers across the high plateau and into the ravines, mapping out the park's fragile rough fescue grasslands, aspen groves, and diverse wildlife habitats.
