Green needles in spring / Softly adorn my branches / Blazing gold in fall / A last show before winter

I am Tamarack. The Algonquian people gave me this name which means "wood used for snowshoes". Others used the name hackmatack. Larch is another one of my names and you might know me as Eastern, Alaskan, American, Black or Red Larch.

Beluga Habitat Sustainability Plan

The Manitoba government has developed a Beluga Habitat Sustainability Plan for the Seal, Churchill and Nelson River estuaries. The plan outlines ways to support the Western Hudson Bay beluga population throughout its range. Belugas arrive in Manitoba's northern estuaries along the coast of Hudson Bay around mid-June and remain until mid-September. Activities in the estuaries revolve around calving, nurturing their young and moulting their skin.
