A quick and easily accessible cache located at the Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre.
The construction of the Oak Hammock Marsh Conservation Centre began in 1991.
Before proceeding, environmental studies and monitoring programs were carried out to prevent or minimize disturbance to wildlife species. Much of the work was done in winter, reducing efforts during the spring and fall migration periods. At a cost of $11 million, the building was designed to blend in with the landscape as much as possible, using local limestone on the face of the building. The entire area was landscaped with native grasses, shrubs, trees and flowers to provide a more natural and productive setting for wildlife and people. Construction was completed in the fall of 1992.
The Conservation Centre hosts Ducks Unlimited Canada and Manitoba Conservation offices, as well as the Oak Hammock Marsh Interpretive Centre. The official opening for the Centre took place on May 1, 1993, twenty years after the original restoration of the Marsh.
