With Doug Collicutt


For a quick, enjoyable read, follow the "What's Outdoors" nature column here in Nature North. Learn about the nature and wildlife that's all around us, outdoors. Pick from the list below or browse from one article to the next.

The "What's Outdoors" column was printed in the Winnipeg Free Press from October 29, 2000 to September 16, 2001. Yikes, that was a while ago. If you think the Winnipeg Free Press, the Winnipeg Sun or any other local publications ought to be publishing more stuff about nature in Manitoba, other than how to hook it or shoot it, then let them know. I'd love to start writing stuff like this again. Anyone interested? Contact me at: dcoll@mts.net.
