This footbridge has been constructed over a creek that flows through the Griffith Woods Natural Area. The area, and its diverse natural vegetation, provides extensive habitat for a wide variety of wildlife. Deer, coyotes, weasels, hares, and muskrat frequently visit the area as well as the occasional moose, bear, lynx, skunk, fox, and cougar. Over 70 species of birds can also be expected to visit.
Special Protection Natural Environment Parks are of the highest significance to wildlife within Calgary. The Griffith Woods is one of three "special protection” natural environment parks along with the Inglewood Bird Sanctuary and Weaselhead.
