Resources from the Summit 2014

This page consists of links to the workshop notes from the 2014 Manitoba Nature Summit that was held September 12,13 and 14th at Camp Manitou in Headingly, Manitoba.

Because we know that at the Summit you’ll be too busy traipsing around the bush, communing with nature, and networking to take notes. So don’t feel pressured- get your hands dirty and immerse yourself in nature and let us take the notes for you!
