Interns will play an integral role in stewarding the NCC properties by assisting Manitoba staff with several stewardship activities, including ecological monitoring, baseline report preparation, mapping of biological communities and threats, and the implementation of property management plan recommendations.

Our success is based on partnership with individuals, corporations, community groups, conservation groups, foundations and government agencies to create solutions that benefit nature.
