sharing the wilds

PROTECTING NATURAL SPACES There’s nothing quite like getting outdoors and having a chance to appreciate the untouched beauty of nature! While we’re out exploring it’s important to remember that animals are in their home and we are the visitors. We can be considerate and environmentally friendly by following certain steps while enjoying the outdoors.

dispose of waste properly A popular phrase from outdoor enthusiasts is “pack it in, pack it out.”

Anyone who uses recreational areas has a responsibility to clean up before leaving (and while staying there).

Inspect your campsite and rest areas for trash or traces of food. Plan meals to avoid creating messy, smelly garbage and don’t count on a fire to dispose of all of your trash–even small leftover pieces can attract wildlife. Make sure to dispose of dirty dish water properly to avoid harming the area with pollutants and attracting animals.

leave areas as you found them Do not dig trenches for tents or build lean-tos, tables, chairs or other equipment. If you clear an area of rocks, twigs, etc. to make space, make sure to replace them before leaving. To avoid spreading problematic organisms and species, brush mud and plant debris off of hiking shoes and clothing before leaving an area.

campers give animals space, store food securely, clean up trash and keep items packed away safely.

If you see wildlife while driving, do not pull over and get out of the vehicle to take pictures. Safely slow down but continue on and observe from a distance. Leave photography up to the professionals.

To find out more information, please visit leavenotrace.ca.

aquatic invasive species (AIS)

To prevent the spread of AIS, such as zebra mussels, water-users must take certain steps before moving water-related equipment from one water body to another.

For a full list of steps and to learn more, visit gov.mb.ca/stopais.

respect wildlife Do not disturb wildlife or plants just to have a better look. Always observe from a distance so they are not scared or forced to flee.

Larger groups often cause more damage to the environment, so keep your group small.

Sudden movements and loud noises are stressful to animals. Considerate staymanitoba.ca

starry, starry night IN SEARCH OF DARK SKIES

Lying on your back on a warm night, staring up at the cosmos, is a cherished part of the camping experience. There’s something magical about the night sky. Both beautiful and awe-inspiring, the tableau of planets, stars, and galaxies set against the inky blackness of space makes us infinitely aware of how insignificant we are in the grand scheme of things. But as urban lighting encroaches on our natural spaces, our ability to distinguish all but the brightest of celestial bodies is becoming more difficult.

Luckily, our vast province offer lots of remote places where you can get away (far away!) from the light pollution created by urban population centres, including a recently-designated Dark‑Sky Preserve.

Illustrations; ©istockphotos.com by xijian

what is a Dark-Sky Preserve?

Dark-Sky Preserves protect the nocturnal environment by limiting the use and impact of artificial lighting, allowing you to experience the natural wonder of the starry sky and life at night. The Royal Astronomical Society of Canada decides which parts of our vast country are designated as Dark-Sky Preserves.

Currently, there are 22 preserves in Canada, but only one in Manitoba.

Manitoba’s only Dark-Sky Preserve On September 4, 2022, Spruce Woods Provincial Park became the first and only designated Dark-Sky Preserve in Manitoba. Throughout the summer, the park plays host to stargazing events, night hikes, and presentations hosted by the Winnipeg RASC Centre and Brandon and Area Astronomical Society. Details can be found on the groups’ websites and social media pages.

celestial viewing tips • Check the weather forecast.

• Dress for the weather; it can be cool at night even on hot summer days.

• Find a viewing location as far from artificial light sources as possible.

• Find a vantage point with a view of the sky unobstructed by trees and buildings.

• Allow your eyes to adjust to the darkness (15-20 minutes). Use a red flashlight for illumination.

• Use a star-finder or app to locate planets and constellations. You can download a free, printable star-finder from the Canadian Space Agency website. look up this summer • May 6 - 7, 2024 Eta Aquarid meteor shower • July 28 - 29 Delta Aquarids meteor shower • August 11 - 13, 2024 Perseid meteor shower • September 18, 2024 Partial lunar eclipse
