Nature Manitoba Scholarship at University of Manitoba

Nature Manitoba established a modest scholarship fund several years ago in 1983 at the University of Manitoba to support annually a graduate student in Biological Sciences.

In the catalogue of scholarships on the U of M website our scholarship is currently described as: “ Awarded to a student who has graduated from a University in Manitoba and who, in the following September either enters or continues with a graduate program in Biological Sciences.”

Fall Hawk Watch Results 2025

Manitoba Fall Hawk Watch – 13 September 2025

There was excellent coverage during the 2025 fall hawk watch, with eleven groups in the field. The weather cooperated, although one group in particular was hampered by fog and the Westman group had strong winds. Overall raptor variety was excellent, although some species’ tallies were much below normal (Turkey Vulture and Sharp-shinned Hawk). Several observers noted a distinct lack of warblers.

Thank you to all who participated.

 

Remembering John Gray

Today we are remembering an iconic long-time leader of Nature Manitoba – John Gray – who passed away peacefully on Monday May 19, one month after his wife Pat Gray's death.

John was also the Grey Hares Coordinator for many years until he handed off to Francy Wheadon in 2013, who passed the torch to us (Kevin & Anita Miller) in February 2021.
