Check out Winnipeg’s Living Prairie Museum for land-based learning events this summer

Prior to European settlement, tall grass prairie covered one million square kilometres in central North America, stretching from Texas to southern Manitoba. Today, tall grass prairie is all but gone. Less than 1% of the original tall grass prairie remains in Manitoba. The Living Prairie Museum is one of the few remaining fragments of this once vast ecosystem.

Land-based learning is a great way to connect meaningfully with the land you’re on.
