We have been a Migratory Bird Sanctuary since 1929. That's 72 years of conservation!

In 1883, Colonel James Walker settled the land that is now occupied by the Sanctuary. In 1910 the current brick house, named Inglewood, was built. The surrounding area also became known as Inglewood - named for the most prominent property in the area.

In 1929, Colonel Walker's son Selby, applied to the Federal government to have 59 acres on the west side of the Bow River be designated as a Federal Migratory Bird Sanctuary. His request was granted and the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary was born.

When Selby died in 1953, Ed Jefferies, who in turn leased it to the Alberta Fish & Game Association, acquired the property. In 1970 the City of Calgary purchased the property and has been managing it as a natural area ever since.

The Colonel Walker House is currently both a private residence and office space for Sanctuary volunteers. In 1996 a few more acres were added to the Sanctuary and we were able to build a Visitor Centre and undertake some new grassland restoration projects.

To date, 270 species of birds, 300 hundred species of plants and many mammals have been recorded at the Sanctuary by members of the public, volunteers and staff who together make Inglewood the great destination that it is!
