Ornamental fruits are a great source of food for songbirds that winter in Manitoba, they provide bird habitat in the summer, and they also make beautiful additions to the garden! To help stop the decline of these birds Nature Manitoba wants to see more of these trees in yards across the city. The Nature Manitoba Bluebird Fund makes it easy and affordable.

There aren’t many places in Manitoba where you can see carnivorous plants, brilliant orchids, and medicinal Ojibwe plants all growing in the same location. The Brokenhead Wetland has all those things and more. That’s why for nearly a decade local non-profit organization, Debwendon, has been working to protect this ecosystem and to educate people about why it’s so important.
