CFB Shilo is a vitally important training base in Western Canada. The unique nature of this area has been recognized for almost a century, and with proper care and management will sustain military training for many decades to come. That military training at CFB Shilo, as well as with other military land holdings throughout Canada, has resulted in natural habitats that are relatively undisturbed and can support plant and wildlife communities in relatively pristine condition. Sherry will discuss the history of natural resource management and research at CFB Shilo and provide a glimpse into an area that is restricted to all except military personnel.
