Today, on #TransDayOfVisibility, we celebrate trans and non-binary people -- but we also recognize that visibility alone isn’t enough. Trans communities are facing relentless attacks, from harmful legislation to rising violence and discrimination.

Nature is resilient—wildflowers bloom, salmon fight upstream, birds welcome the dawn. But 5,000+ species in Canada are at risk of extinction.

The #BiodiversityCrisis is in full force. The good news? We can change it.

Looking at the grand trees looming over the Lemay Forest it's easy to understand why these woods are special. Big trees in Lemay Forest should be part of nature in our neighborhoods.

Last night we handed out Lemay Forest info cards to attendees of Storefront MB ’s Sustainability Forum. It was great to hear Lemay Forest included in many of the questions asked of the Premier and Mayor and was exciting at how many people were familiar with this growing movement!

Use our letter writing tool and make your voice heard. It needs your voice to protect it!

Trees are being cut down in the Lemay Forest in southern Winnipeg this morning in brazen disregard for federal rules protecting migratory birds. We're calling on the City of Winnipeg to rescind permits that violate federal law.
