ECOTOURS AT FORTWHYTE ALIVE
At FortWhyte Alive, Winnipeg's award-winning nature
reserve, group eco tours combine nature, history and
culture. On their Canadian Signature Experience
tour, A Prairie Legacy: The Bison and its People,
experiences include getting up close to a large
bison herd, hearing historical anecdotes in a Plains
Cree Tipi, exploring wetlands on a massive Voyageur
canoe, cooking bannock over a fire, and more.
Other eco tours include Bison Safari, Oh Deer!, Bird's
Eye View, and the brand new Farm and Bee Tour –
where you'll don a beekeeper suit and collect honey
before visiting the pigs, chickens and rabbits that are raised on their
sustainable urban farm.

The United Nations has
declared 2017 as the
International Year of
Sustainable Tourism
for Development.
So make a difference this year
by choosing a sustainable,
green and authentic tourism
experience in Winnipeg!
The mission at Oak Hammock Marsh is to connect people
with wetlands, which happens almost instantaneously
when you look out over the vast marsh and hear the
sounds from up to 300 species of birds, countless
amphibians, and the dozens of mammals who call this
place home.
This globally significant Important Bird and Biodiversity
Area (IBA) was designed to be a key migratory habitat
and waterfowl-breeding centre, and on the Bird in the
Hand Canadian Signature Experience you'll discover why.
On this interactive tour you'll literally feel tiny feathers
flutter in the palm of your hand before releasing a newly
banded songbird into the wild (all part of important
migratory research) before heading out into the wetlands
on canoes where the smell of blooming wildflowers and
close encounters with colourful birds perched atop cattails
are on the agenda.
