Healthy provincial parks create a healthy environment and a better future for all Manitobans. Unfortunately, industrial activity such as clearcut logging is permanently degrading our parks.
In the coming months forestry licenses that were granted to corporations to clearcut log these cherished areas are expiring. The government is currently negotiating new licenses that could allow clearcut logging in our parks for the next 20 years. Overwhelmingly, Manitobans have stated that they want industrial activity out of our parks. Our beloved parks must be removed from all future forestry licenses.
Attend a Rally to Protect our Parks and our Future!
On Wednesday, February 27 from 12 to 2 p.m. on the Manitoba Legislative grounds, please gather with other conservationists to let the government know we want our parks protected and we don’t want forestry licenses to include our provincial parks. Bring a mug for free hot chocolate. You can find more information at Wildernesscommittee.mb.ca
Now is the time to let your voice in the wilderness be heard!
