Ojibway Nature Centre

On Thursday, June 27, the Ojibway Nature Centre hosted a FEMeeting Tour of the Ojibway Park and Prairie Complex in Windsor, Ontario, Canada. This expansive area consists of six interconnected natural sites: Ojibway Park, Tallgrass Prairie Heritage Park, Black Oak Heritage Park, Spring Garden Natural Area, and Oakwood Natural Area, covering roughly 260 hectares.

Participants on the tour enjoyed exploring the diverse pin oak forest, savannah, and tallgrass prairie habitats. They learned about the wildlife and Indigenous histories tied to the region while hiking the scenic trails with knowledgeable guides. The tour also featured a special "creature feature," where attendees could observe some of the local fauna and gain a deeper understanding of the Ojibway Nature Centre's ecological significance.
