In the late 1960's and early 1970's, the Provincial Government acquired 3,450 hectares of land from local landowners with financial help from the federal government's FRED program (Fund for Rural Economic Development).
In 1972, with the assistance of Ducks Unlimited Canada, Manitoba Conservation began constructing 22 kilometers of earth dykes to restore a small portion of the original marsh.
Construction was completed in the spring of 1973, and the restored marsh and surrounding upland areas were officially designated as Oak Hammock Marsh Wildlife Management Area (WMA). The WMA is 3,581 hectares or approximately 3600 hectares (36 square kilometers or 8,896 acres or 14 square miles) in size. It is operated by Manitoba Conservation.
This cache will help you discover one of the outlets of the marsh: Parks Creek.
