Thank you to all who attended our 2022 Gardens of Distinction Garden Tour and Plant Sale! It was a great success! We would also like to thank all of our talented gardeners as well as our many dedicated volunteers who made this event happen. See you in 2023!

After a hiatus due to COVID-19, Nature Manitoba is pleased to announce the return of our birding programs! 

Members can now participate in our birding outings, including our popular Birding for Beginners program that takes place in May.

Please note: Out of respect for their comfort, vaccine requirements are up to the discretion of our volunteer trip leaders. All birding trips require proof of double vaccination against COVID-19, and masks must be worn when in enclosed spaces (car-pooling, etc).

Nature Indoors

There are all kinds of reasons why people may not be able to get outside on a good day, but with the freezing temperatures and current public health situation, it can seem almost impossible to get motivated to leave home.

Wanted: Discovery Evening Coordinator (Volunteer role)

The Discovery Evening program is made up of 6 nature presentations by leaders in Nature Biology and Research.  It is offered Monday nights between Thanksgiving and the end of March at the Franco Manitoban Cultural Centre.

Nature Manitoba was saddened to hear about the passing of Tom Reaume on August 30th. Tom was a very talented artist and botanist, who worked closely with Nature Manitoba on his wonderful publications.

Tom wrote and illustrated the books "620 Wild Plants of North America" and "Manitoba's Tall Grass Prairie", and created a series of plant profiles called "Wild Plants of Winnipeg" (which are published here).
