| Ecotourism, Eco-Tours
Theoretically, ecotourism can be defined as a type of tourism where the environment, local community and visitor all benefit. In practice, the term 'ecotourism' is often used by tour operators as a marketing tool to promote any form of tourism that is related to nature.
At WildWaters Nature Tours & Expeditions we view ecotourism as a study of the ecology of the Wabakimi Park area. As an Environmentalist and Activist, Bruce Hyer has been instrumental in the creation and preservation of the region we now call Wabakimi Provincial Park. He and other friends of Wabakimi were interested in the preservation of this wonderful expanse of natural wilderness long before Ecotourism became a recognized term in the english language!
Whether for your family and friends,
or for a group of professional scientists, we can arrange special trips
related to themes like Boreal or Fire Ecology, Geology & Glacial History
and Woodland Caribou or other Wildlife.
Round out your experience in the Armstrong area with an informative ecological
mini-tour. Learn about the boreal forests and wildlife around Wabakimi.
Available on a scheduled or "by arrangement" basis.
Some examples are:
- Introduction to the Boreal Ecosystem
- Getting to Know Caribou
- Landforms and Glacial History of the Wabakimi Area
Or you may choose a day tip by canoe or kayak in
the Armstrong area to learn about boreal ecology and geology. Call Bruce Hyer at WildWaters Nature Tours & Expeditions Ltd. today to arrange your Canada Ecotourism Vacation experience. You won't be disappointed!
