NM in India

If India is on your bucket list (and even if it's not!), this is a great opportunity to visit this remarkable country while supporting our work here in Manitoba! 

Forest School in Winnipeg

Although forest school has been around since the late 1950s in places like Denmark and Sweden, the idea is a relatively new one in Manitoba. In the past several years more and more schools and daycares are making an effort to incorporate some type of outdoor education, while forest school is more like outdoor-immersion for a child. The goal is to give children a chance to develop a deep connection to and respect for nature, according to outdoor education experts at Momenta.

Winter as a Butterfly

For butterflies and skippers, surviving winter demands a period of dormancy known as hibernal diapause.  This multi-step process suspends development or reproduction at the onset of cold weather, and is initiated by a hormonal response to changing environmental conditions, particularly the length of day and temperature.  These same conditions trigger the end of diapause the following spring, as daylight lengthens and warmer temperatures return.  At such time, development and reproductive processes return to normal.
