Description:

Dutton-Dunwich Prairie is a tallgrass community, which is the rarest ecosystem in Canada, as only 1% of these habitats remain. Numerous species at risk rely on tallgrass prairie for food and habitat resources, such as Bobolink and Eastern Meadowlark. By protecting this area, TTLT is protecting a crucial ecosystem.
