Efforts are underway to conserve an over 1,200 acre plot of land near San Clara.
The land includes forest, wetlands, and grasslands, and the Nature Conservancy of Canada are working with the owners of that land to purchase it from them, so that it can continue to be used for activities like hiking, grazing, bird watching, and hunting.
Manitoba Director of Conservation Carey Hamel says the public can help with those efforts.
"We depend on support from the public for what we do. And we are always fundraising to support local landowners and others in their forest conservation efforts. This special project near San Clara is in the final stretches of trying to raise the last $500,000 that we need to raise to make it happen. So we are always grateful when people consider us in their giving plans."
You can donate to their efforts through the Nature Conservancy of Canada's website
