http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Birds_Hill_Provincial_Park Birds Hill Provincial Park is a provincial park in Manitoba, Canada. It is located 24 kilometres north of Winnipeg on Highway 59, (50°01′01″N 96°53′01″W) and covers approximately 8300 acres (35.1 square kilometres). The area (and park) is named after Dr. Curtis Bird, first speaker of the Manitoba provincial legislature in 1870, whose father had been a factor in the Hudson's Bay Company. Since the area is higher than the surrounding terrain, what is now Birds Hill Park served early settlers as a refuge from flooding in the years 1826 and 1852. It is part of the RM of Springfield, with a relatively small portion lying within the Rural Municipality of St. Clements. The provincial park features a mixture of aspen and oak forest with open prairie/savannah, spruce, bog areas and mixed boreal forest communities, not commonly found so close together.

This blog is to share some photo, some experience of my tours to different festivals, events and tourist spots in Manitoba. One most significant character of this province is it's raw, wild nature. Manitoba preserves, maintains and also focuses it's nature all over it's area. Many of the introductions of different posts are taken from different websites.
