Riding Mountain Biosphere Reserve, Biosphere reserve in Manitoba, Canada

The reserve spans 3,000 square kilometers containing forests, wetlands, and grasslands that support black bears, moose, and more than 250 bird species.

UNESCO designated Riding Mountain as a biosphere reserve in 1986, incorporating Riding Mountain National Park and twelve surrounding municipalities in southwestern Manitoba.

Four First Nations communities, including Rolling River, Keeseekoowenin, Waywayseecappo, and Tootinaowaziibeeng, maintain strong connections to the reserve's territories and resources.

The reserve features multiple trails for hiking, cycling, and horseback riding, with seasonal activities adapting to warm summers and cold winters.

The Manitoba Escarpment and Shell River Valley create distinct ecological zones where grasslands meet deciduous and boreal forests.
