Report For Habitat Site |
| Seine 10 |
| Location | Site Description |
| East bank of the Seine River, North of Creek | This site is the largest continuous riverbottom forest |
| Bend Road, South of John Bruce Road | habitat area along the Seine River within Winnipeg. It |
| | contains large areas of terrace and floodplain riverbottom |
| Site Name | Site # | forest as well as several large oxbows containing wetland |
| Seine 10 | 223 | plant communities. There are some patches of |
| | disturbance (small clearings and trails) but these affect |
| | less than one percent of the total area. One of the best |
| | examples of terrace riverbottom forest is found here and |
| | there are very few weed species present in the site. This |
| | site is one of the most diverse along the Seine River and |
| | contains over 80 different native plants, including sweet |
| | flag, nodding trillium and Indian pipe. A number of large |
| | heritage trees are found throughout the site near the |
| | riverbank: five cottonwood, one elm, one oak, and two |
| | willow. Deer, beaver, fox, muskrat and a variety of ducks |
| | were observed during the inventory. |
