Welcome to Whiteshell Provincial Park

Welcome to Whiteshell Provincial Park, a new collection project for people using iNaturalist in Manitoba.

This project provides a way to see which organisms found in Whiteshell Provincial Park are being added to the iNaturalist database. In collection projects, observations are automatically added if they meet the set criteria. They do not require the observer to opt in to the project for their observations to count.

A total of 2,142 iNaturalist observations had been added to the project by January 1, 2020. These observations document 606 species found in the park from bunchberry to black bears.
