October/December 2016 Wildland Advocate article, by Nick Pink and Polly Knowlton Cockett.

On a typical day the Calgary Tower, a behemoth of concrete and steel, likely isn’t the first place you think of when you imag-ine the wilderness, wildlife, and water of Alberta. But something special happened on Earth Day (April 22) every year from 1992 until 2016; the wilderness came to the tower.
