Follow the natural trails and explore the open wetland landscape at Laurentian Wetland. From the water’s edge, visitors can observe aquatic plants, surrounding woodland, fallen logs, and the many habitats that support birds, amphibians, insects, and other wildlife.

Take time to notice the reflections on the water, the plants growing along the shoreline, and signs of animal activity throughout the wetland. Each season brings different colours, sounds, and wildlife to discover.

Wetlands also play an important environmental role by providing wildlife habitat, storing water, reducing flooding, and helping filter pollutants. Staying on designated trails helps protect this sensitive ecosystem.

Questions for you:

• Which plants are growing along the shoreline and in the wetland?
• Why are fallen trees and branches important for wetland wildlife?
