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!

The four species of snakes that make their home at Writing-on-Stone will be the topic at our public presentation: the bullsnake, Alberta's only constrictor; two species of garter snakes; and rattlesnakes, which are considered the province's only venomous snake. These four snake species make up a significant number of Writing-On-Stone's reptile population. Join Naturalist Ken Moore to learn many of the interesting and fascinating facts about these species.
Learn all about the only snake species in Alberta considered potentially dangerous to humans: rattlesnakes. Join Naturalist Ken Moore to find out about their lives, their needs, their lifestyle, and how to protect yourself from this valuable member of our environment.
