Manitoba Conservation advises it is preparing a management plan for Birds Hill Provincial Park to set long-term direction for the park including guidelines for environmental protection and recreational use.
The public is invited to informal drop-in sessions to discuss the park’s future that will be held at the Overlook Viewpoint picnic area on North Drive in Birds Hill Provincial Park. Dates and times are June 19 and 20 from 10am-3 pm and July 17 and 18 from 10am-3pm.
Birds Hill is one of Manitoba’s busiest parks with almost one million visitors per year. Located just north of Winnipeg, Birds Hill Provincial Park is a popular area for camping, swimming, special events such as the Winnipeg Folk Festival and sporting activities.
Birds Hill Provincial Park was officially opened in July 1967.
