FortWhyte Alive, Environmental education center in Winnipeg, Canada.
The 660-acre preserve contains five lakes, forests, wetlands, and prairie grasslands that emerged from former clay and gravel mining quarries.
The name originates from an 1881 confrontation between Canadian Pacific Railway vice president William Whyte and local residents over rail transport control.
FortWhyte Farms provides educational programs for youth, teaching agricultural practices and environmental sustainability through hands-on experiences.
Visitors can explore 9 kilometers of trails through different ecosystems, rent equipment for outdoor activities, and observe 26 bird species during winter.
The preserve maintains a 70-acre prairie with a herd of plains bison, allowing visitors to observe North America's largest land mammals.
