The Great Bird Search 2012

The Great Bird Search will take place on Saturday, May 26, 2012. It is an educational fundraising event hosted by Nature Manitoba. Participants look for as many species of birds as they can for any length of time during the Gread Bird Search Day. Novice Birding Teams are lead by experienced birders and there is a BBQ for all participants in the afternoon. Through this event, we hope to make participants and pledge supporters aware of the plight of many North America's birds and their habitats. Contact our office at 943-9029 for more information, but first click here to view the poster with more details.

Black Out Speak Out

Dear Members,

On June 4, 2012, Nature Manitoba will be joining over 35 other organizations in the national campaign; Black Out Speak Out. Many environmental, community and social justice groups will darken their website home page for the day on June 4th in order to speak out against changes introduced in the federal government's budget act (Bill C-38). If you visit this page on that day, you will instead find a splash page with suggested actions to speak out for free and open public debate. Further information is available at www.blackoutspeakout.ca.

Don Himbeault, President

About Us

Hike Nature Manitoba is a not-for-profit organization that was founded in 1920 as the Natural History Society of Manitoba (later known as the Manitoba Naturalists Society), "for the popular and scientific study of nature". In 2009, we changed our name to Nature Manitoba. Our members share a passion for nature. Our goal is to promote an appreciation and understanding of nature, and to preserve and enjoy it. Nature Manitoba offers a wide variety of indoor and outdoor programs year-round, and advocates for the protection of our natural environment.

canoe by lake We believe that the opportunity to experience the natural world in peace and tranquility is a joy and a privilege. We believe in the importance of sound stewardship of our parks, wilderness and other natural areas, and are proponents of self-propelled (non-motorized) recreation when enjoying these areas.
