Field Trips

In this free, full day guided field trip, students visit three separate natural habitats located within the City of Winnipeg's boarders.

Mornings are spent at the Living Prairie Museum. A short presentation is followed by storytelling with a local elder. Students then have a chance to explore the tall grass prairie preserve.

Afternoons hikes at the Assiniboine Forest are spent exploring parkland forest and wetland.
