Summer is the time for growing. Baby robins learn to fly. Goslings and ducklings now swim strong and well. Flowers are bright against the green grass. Some have finished blooming and are forming berries soon to turn purple in their ripeness. Baby ground squirrels born in the rush of spring are almost as big as their mothers. Children run and play and their legs grow strong. As we learn more about the wildlife in Alberta we are struck by the incredible variety and beauty of the plants and animals that surround us. All animals need air, water, food and a place to live. The spaces such as the prairie grasslands, the poplar groves, the potholes or the rivers all support life. The animals in the wild live closer to the land than we do. They are the first to reflect the changes in our natural world and indicate the health of our air, water and soil. The challenge of the future is to live in harmony with our environment. Come with us now Get to know Alberta, season by season Vintage 90’s Out of Print
