Counts happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere. \nThe information collected by thousands of volunteer participants forms one of the world’s largest sets of wildlife survey data. The results are used daily by conservation biologists and naturalists to assess the population trends and distribution of birds. \nEach Christmas Bird Count is conducted on a single day between December 14 and January 5. Counts are carried out within a 24-km diameter circle that stays the same from year to year. They are organized\, usually as group efforts\, at the local level\, often by a birding club or naturalist organization. \nThis is a great opportunity to explore the birds that we have in and around the Boreal Ecology Centre and engage people in conducting citizen science. This is part of the work that we want to take on in order to promote connections at the Boreal Ecology Centre that can contribute to conservation.

SUMMARY:Intro to Urban Permaculture (Winnipeg\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:Learn together with us what permaculture is and how we can implement it in our own urban spaces!Permaculture is “the conscious design and maintenance of agriculturally productive ecosystems which have the diversity\, stability\, and resilience of natural ecosystems” (permaculturenews.org). Permaculture takes significant wisdom and inspiration from traditional Indigenous farming practices around the world. \nThe Metanoia Farmers Worker Cooperative (also known as the CMU Farm) is making a big transition to permaculture\, and you’re invited to come along for the journey and learn with them and with us! \nDuring this introductory workshop (the first of three throughout the growing season)\, we will read and discuss an article about permaculture\, talk with the farmers about what their transition to permaculture looks like practically\, and then work on building a permanent bed. \nCome prepared to learn and work (there are tasks for every body and ability\, including observing if that’s what you prefer/are able to do!) \nThis event is FREE but we do ask that you RSVP below. \nThursday June 22\, 7 PM \nCMU Farm (see map) \nPlease bring clothes you can get dirty\, a lawn chair\, and curiosity! \nDon’t miss the other workshops in the series\, on July 27 and September 14! See our events page for more details. \nThis workshop series is part of a partnership between A Rocha Manitoba and the Metanoia Farmers Worker Cooperative \nRSVP×RSVP to Intro to Urban Permaculture\n \n\n\n\n\n\n\nRSVP Here\n\n\n\nHow many people will join us? \nPlease select…12345678910\n\n\nMain Contact Name \n\n\n\nMain Contact Email \n\n\n\n\nEvent \n\n\n\nComments or Questions \n\n\n\n\nYes\, I want to sign up for A Rocha Manitoba’s monthly newsletter!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nreCAPTCHA helps prevent automated form spam.\nThe submit button will be disabled until you complete the CAPTCHA.\n\n\n \n\n\n \n\n\n\n\nContact Information \n\n\n\nClose

SUMMARY:Christmas Bird Count (East Braintree\, MB)
DESCRIPTION:Do you love birding? Are you excited about community science? \nOur annual Christmas bird count is coming up at the Boreal Ecology Centre in East Braintree on December 17. \nBring warm clothes\, binoculars\, a camera (if you have one)\, and snacks (we will provide lunch). Please also bring what you feel you need to hike winter trails (snow pants\, hiking poles\, etc.) \nHere’s what Birds Canada has to say about their Christmas Bird Count:  \nStarted in 1900\, the Christmas Bird Count is North America’s longest-running Citizen Science project. Counts happen in over 2000 localities throughout the Western Hemisphere. \nThe information collected by thousands of volunteer participants forms one of the world’s largest sets of wildlife survey data. The results are used daily by conservation biologists and naturalists to assess the population trends and distribution of birds. \nEach Christmas Bird Count is conducted on a single day between December 14 and January 5. Counts are carried out within a 24-km diameter circle that stays the same from year to year. They are organized\, usually as group efforts\, at the local level\, often by a birding club or naturalist organization. \nThis is a great opportunity to explore the birds that we have in and around the Boreal Ecology Centre and engage people in conducting citizen science. This is part of the work that we want to take on in order to promote connections at the Boreal Ecology Centre that can contribute to conservation. \n\n\nRVSP HEREPlease RSVP by clicking on the button above.\nIf you have questions please contact us here for more info×Contact Us \n    \n    \n    \n    \n                    \n                \n                                    \n                \n                \n\n    \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n\n\n    \n    \n\n\n\nYour Name\n\n\nYour Email\n\n\nYour Subject\n\n\nYour Message\n\nYes\, I want to sign up for ARMB's monthly newsletter!\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nreCAPTCHA helps prevent automated form spam.\n\nThe submit button will be disabled until you complete the CAPTCHA.\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\nContact Information \n  \n       \n \n Close\n×RSVP Here\n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n        \n\n    \n\n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n\n\n    \n            \n          Event RSVP (Manitoba)\n\n          \n          Sorry\, this form is not available.          \n        \n          \n       \n \n\nClose
