Hi from a forest in Manitoba, Canada

Hi there! I just wanted to introduce myself here. My husband and I live in a forest in Manitoba, Canada. We are located about an north of Winnipeg near Lake Winnipeg. Our land is mostly clay with a bit of swamp.

Although I only started posted last year, I have been lurking for years. I have been fascinated with all things permies for years: frugal living, repurposing, and trying to live off the land. When we moved here ten years ago from the city, I was excited to be able to live closer to the land. It has been a long journey but I am finally starting to learn how to garden in a forest.

For the first few years, I spent a lot of my time outside photographing all of the natural beauty. It has been the last three years that I really got into gardening and trying to "redeem the land" as I like to call it.

I am so happy to be here and share with like-minded individuals. I am not good at this stuff but it is very fun to experiment.

Hello I am also in the forest close to lake wpg on the east side and just joined this community.

Hello Lake Billy. Welcome to Permies!

Are you in full boreal forest, or is there a band of aspen parkland in there?

What kinds of things are you interested in, and what would you like to accomplish? There's a pretty big pool of resources here that you can tap into if you want. Don't hesitate to ask questions!

I believe it’s the boreal forest along the shores of lake wpg on the east side where it’s Canadian Shield
