Summer 2007 Expedition Pictures
     
  Several trips to Manitoba provincial parks and to the East Side Wilderness Area were undertaken in the summer of 2007. Here are some of the resulting photographs.

The wilderness pictures below are the results of expeditions to document our wild lands. The images are the property of the photographer and the Wilderness Committee. These nature photographs can be made available for projects that help protect our wild lands, such as school programs on conservation. Please contact us if you wish to use these pictures.
