Manitoba has some of the finest wetlands in Canada and more than 7,000 acres across the province are protected by Nature Conservancy of Canada (NCC).

Given the importance of wetlands to Manitoba and its citizens, NCC Manitoba has placed a great deal of emphasis on the securement of wetlands to ensure the protection of this critically important habitat and the continued use of this environment by the wide range of water fowl throughout Manitoba.
