The Manitoba Model Forest, encompassing 1.05 million hectares of boreal forest, is located northeast of Winnipeg and extends eastward from Lake Winnipeg to the Manitoba-Ontario border. The forest’s dominant tree species are balsam fir, black spruce, jack pine, trembling aspen, white birch and white spruce. Manitoba is an active participant in forest management at the provincial level especially in the areas of Aboriginal involvement, climate change, community education, natural disturbance, wildlife and woodlots. Manitoba Model Forest, with support from Canadian development agencies, has also collaborated on several international projects, such as the reforestation of the Mariposa Monarca Model Forest in Mexico and integrated resource management in the Chiloe Model Forest in Chile.
