The Nature Conservancy of Canada’s (NCC's) Manitoba Region is proud to offer programs that are:
- Unique nature-based interactive programs;
- Available year-round across southern Manitoba; and
- Linked to Manitoba science and social studies curriculum.
Programs may be tailored to meet the needs of individual classes and students. While in-school programs are free of charge, groups are responsible for their own transportation if they wish to participate in field-trip options.
