TextPublication details: Winnipeg, MB : Wildlife Branch, Manitoba Natural Resources, 1999.Description: iii, 24 p. ; 28 cmOnline resources: Summary: Four main habitat types were described: 1) a marsh, with a mix of terresrial and emergent vegetation; 2) a monodominant stand of reed canary grass; 3) a weedy area, dominated by tufted vetch; and 4) a remnant riverbottom woodland. A total of 129 plant species representing 39 families were recorded. Purple loosestrife is established throughout the site and 22% of the species found are considered to be non-native. A total of 43 bird species, 2 mammal species, one amphibian species and one insect species were observed using the area. Given that the quality of the habitat was not particularly high, a managed grazing study in the area is not ruled out of the question by the authors.
