Colour-changing lake becomes a Park Reserve

Little Limestone Lake and surrounding lands receives protection from industrial developments

After years of promoting conservation within the Interlake region, CPAWS welcomes Park Reserve status for Little Limestone Lake and surrounding lands.

During the Park Reserve process, this area is protected from industrial activities while the province consults local First Nations and considers input from all citizens about the future of what CPAWS calls "Manitoba's most amazing lake."

“Father of North American Boreal Ecology” has Passed On

After a long life rich with achievements, Professor William O. Pruitt Jr., Senior Scholar in the Department of Biological Sciences at the University of Manitoba, passed away on December 7, 2009.

He is greatly missed.

The list of Dr. Pruitt’s accomplishments is vast. His research and passion for teaching has been profoundly important in our understanding of boreal ecology. His tireless service to protect the boreal forests and its critters is truly inspiring. Dr. Pruitt was so helpful to CPAWS and so many others with his teachings and insights about woodland caribou.
