World Wetlands Day
2023-02-02
Did you know that the tall grass prairie ecosystem once stretched from near present-day Winnipeg all the way south to Texas? Today, the largest intact blocks of tall grass prairie in Canada occur in the Tall Grass Prairie Natural Area in southeastern Manitoba.
Did you also know that the area supports a diversity of habitat types, including wet and dry tall grass prairie, marshes and fens, savannah and dense woodlands, riparian (riverbank) areas and rivers? That means there are plenty of wetlands in the region to support species that depend on this ecosystem for survival.
For more information about the Tall Grass Prairie and the conservation work Nature Conservancy of Canada is undertaking in the region, see NCC’s Tall Grass Prairie Natural Area Conservation Plan.
