Up for a challenge? Join us in a Paddle for Nature! 🚣

Nature Conservancy of Canada / Conservation de la nature Canada Manitoba Region is inviting you to participate in our second annual Paddle for Nature challenge!

When we lose nature, we also lose the benefits that it provides to people. These benefits range from carbon storage to the health benefits of spending time in nature. While reversing the loss of biodiversity remains core to NCC's mission, we know that to accelerate our efforts we need all of society to play a role.

This is why we're inviting you to be an invaluable participant in the second annual Paddle for Nature challenge!
