After winter hibernation, Mother Nature awakens and bestows us with the beauty of nature. The warm weather of spring and summer calls us outdoors to parks to enjoy the natural world.
In Canada, parks protect and manage natural areas. This ensures protection and conservation of habitats and ecosystems for all species and wildlife that inhabit them, and also ensures preservation of nature for public education and enjoyment. Canada's natural areas are bountiful and diverse, and includes wide ranging and breathtaking landscapes such as mountains, glaciers, tundra, grasslands, and forests.
Parks are protected and managed at various levels of government. Here are some resources for federal and provincial parks. You can check out your municipal's website for more local natural areas near you.
