Ojibway Prairie Complex

The Ojibway Prairie Complex, located in Windsor, is one of Ontario's largest and most important prairie-savanna sites. It consists of five natural areas totaling 334 ha. Four of these areas, Ojibway Park, Tallgrass Prairie Heritage Park, Black Oak Heritage Park, and Spring Garden Natural Area, are administered by the City of Windsor's Ojibway Nature Center. The fifth area, the Ontario Prairie Provincial Nature Reserve, is owned by the Ontario Ministry of Natural Resources. More than 700 flowering plants are found here, some of which are found nowhere else in Ontario. Interesting and rare wildlife include the Massasauga rattlesnake, yellow-breasted chat, Butler's garter snake and over 80 species of butterflies. Information and interpretive programs are available at the Ojibway Nature Centre: 519-966-5852.

Directions: Take Hwy 401 to Windsor and follow the signs to the Ambassador ridge. The highway becomes Huron Church Road. Turn left (west) onto the EC Row expressway (C.R. 18) and then turn left on Matchette Road. Go 1.3 km to the nature center on the right (west) side of the road.
