We love to see people in the river valley! Our events support nature connection and are generally available to everyone - contact us if you have questions about accessibility or are interested in getting involved with our next event.
Friends of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre Society is an independent Canadian charity based in Lethbridge, Alberta, offering public benefit to our community by advancing education on the local natural environment through events, programs, publications, and workshops.
We are actively involved in our community, promoting the importance of nature appreciation and connection. However, our Society does not offset the capital and operational requirements of the Helen Schuler Nature Centre. Instead we provide enhancements, for the benefit of the community, that would not otherwise be available. We help make the Nature Centre an even better public resource!

We are delighted to host popular local filmmaker, Rick Andrews, for the premiere of his two latest short films: American Bison and Sandhill Cranes. This is a Canada and U.S.A. wildlife adventure, not to be missed. A Q&A with the filmmaker will follow.
“Avian Summer" is a locally produced wildlife documentary by Rick Andrews. Discover the variety of birds that migrate to Southern Alberta each spring, where they come to find a mate and raise the next generation, before migrating again in the fall. The film is 37 minutes in length and was produced in our region over the past two years. Proceeds from Avian Summer will benefit the Endowment Fund in support of nature-based interpretive programming at the Helen Schuler Nature Centre.
