Will Native Bees be Outnumbered?
Out of around 10,000 species of bees globally, honeybees are just one. They are also the only bee that produces honey. But with their ability to pollinate vast mono crops, and their economic benefit to humans, will honeybees outcompete our local bee population? Read our Q & A with a wildlife biologist here.
Farewell to Christian Artuso
This summer Manitoba will be losing expert birder, conservation advocate, NM board member, and an all-around great person. Christian Artuso will be moving to Ottawa to take on a new position with the Canadian Wildlife Service. We would like to wish him the best of luck on this new adventure, and thank him for all he has done within the birding community of Manitoba over the years. Learn more about Christian's work here.
Mantario Summer Program 2019
This summer why not spend a week in the heart of the boreal forest? Stay in the backcountry with creature comforts you won't get camping. Plus learn something new about the natural world!
Our Summer Program includes:
- a fully-equipped, 5-day guided trip out to the Mantario Wilderness area
- all meals (except for one bagged lunch on day 1)
- full use of our Mantario cabin amenities
- full use of our Finnish wood-fired sauna
- some of the most incredible views and experiences Manitoba has to offer!
The Manitoba Tall Grass Prairie Preserve will be hosting its annual Prairie Day event on Saturday, August 10, 2019 at the Prairie Shore Interpretive Trail, located three kilometres east of Tolstoi on Provincial Road 209. Lots of activities for people of all ages. Admission is only $5 per adult and children are free! NM is pleased to be part of this great conservation area, and we encourage you to get out and see this local gem!
NM Trip to Madagascar
We are pleased to be partnering once again with Rockjumper Wildlife Tours to offer an exclusive tour to Madagascar for friends of Nature Manitoba! Part of the proceeds from the tour will go to support nature conservation right here in Manitoba! See the full itinerary and more information here.
It has been seen, but not yet confirmed. There are 399 officially documented bird species in the province of Manitoba, and the Ash-throated Flycatcher will likely be the 400th. See the tweet from Bird Studies Canada here. We will keep you up to date when this is confirmed.
Chimney Swift Rescue Guide
This time of year is the nesting period for the threatened Chimney Swift. Sometimes a nest can fall with the chicks inside, leaving them vulnerable. There have been a few incidents like this in the last couple of years, so our MB Chimney Swift program has put together this rescue guide to help homeowners and building owners know what to do if a fallen nest is found.
Bird of the Month
Every month we feature a bird you can find in Manitoba. We will also be giving away a copy of Finding Birds in Southern Manitoba!Enter once here and your name will go in the draw every month.
