Upcoming EVENTS
June 27, Tall-Grass Prairie Preserve
-
Join us for a Tall-grass Prairie walk at the Agassiz Interpretive Trail, 7 km west of Vita, Manitoba.
-
2 km interpretive walk: 1.5 - 2 hours
-
This trail contains some of the best blocks of tall-grass prairie left in all of Canada, an ecosystem that has less than 1% of its former range. On the trail we should be walking through the peak blooming period for the western prairie fringed orchid; this is the only place in Canada to see this species at risk. Also in the vicinity of the trail is one of the last remaining wild populations of the globally imperiled Poweshiek skipperling butterfly. The Poweshiek global population is estimated anywhere from a few hundred to a few thousand. We will hear about the research that is being done to keep it from extinction.
-
Led by Norm Gregoire, Community Liaison for Species at Risk for the tall-grass prairie natural area.
July 25, Tree Yoga Walk @ Beaudry Park
