Hidden Gems of Manitoba

Along with community partners like Nature Manitoba, the Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC) is proud to protect many unique places across southern Manitoba. From prairie to wetlands to forest, these special areas are home to an amazing diversity of plants, animals, and ecosystems, and many are accessible for nature-loving visitors. This program will provide a peek inside several of NCC’s hidden gems, highlighting habitats and species, as well as how we manage these rare landscapes. Information about how to visit, and what to expect when you come will also be provided.
