The Capital Region Urban Habitat Stewardship Project The Capital Region Urban Habitat Stewardship Project was created in early 1997 as a mechanism to link the major agencies and non-government organizations involved in habitat stewardship in and around the City of Winnipeg. The objective of this Project is to conserve, restore and enhance natural habitat areas in urban environments throughout the Province of Manitoba. The Project was developed to promote urban habitat stewardship and to create opportunities for groups or individuals concerned with habitat protection within Winnipeg and the rural-urban interface in Manitoba's Capital Region. Representation on the Steering Committee for this Project includes: the Manitoba Habitat Heritage Corporation (Chair), the Manitoba Naturalists Society, the City of Winnipeg, Environment Canada, Ducks Unlimited Canada, Manitoba Intergovernmental Affairs and Trade, Manitoba Water Stewardship and Manitoba Conservation. The Prairies Ecozone was selected for Naturescape Manitoba as it is the ecozone that has been most impacted by human settlement. Naturescape Manitoba includes information on native species and project ideas and is designed to help organizations and individuals transform small urban and rural areas, including backyards, into wildlife habitat. |
