Ojibway Prairie Complex

The complex is a group of six closely situated natural areas in and around Windsor, Ontario. City-managed sites include Ojibway Park, Tallgrass Prairie Heritage Park, Black Oak Heritage Park, Spring Garden Natural Area, and Oakwood Natural Area, alongside the provincial nature reserve, according to the [City of Windsor](https://citywindsor.ca/residents/parks-and-forestry/ojibway-prairie-complex).

The five city-administered areas cover approximately 260 hectares, while the nearby Ojibway Prairie Provincial Nature Reserve adds more than 105 hectares. The complex is within a 10-minute drive of downtown Windsor, according to the [City of Windsor](https://citywindsor.ca/residents/parks-and-forestry/ojibway-prairie-complex).

The complex contains tallgrass prairie, oak savanna, woodland, and wetlands. The City of Windsor reports habitat for more than 4,000 species, including over 160 rare plants, insects, reptiles, birds, and mammals.

The provincial nature reserve was established in 1977 to protect one of Ontario's largest remaining native tallgrass prairie and oak-savanna areas. Ontario Parks lists the reserve at about 64.12 hectares and records more than 500 flowering plants in and around it, according to [Ontario Parks](https://www.ontarioparks.ca/park/ojibwayprairie).
