Living Prairie Museum, Nature reserve in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada
The Living Prairie Museum spans 30 acres of preserved tall grass prairie land between Daisy Road and Harcourt Street, east of Ness Avenue.
Botanists identified this site in 1968 as one of the few undisturbed prairie areas remaining in Manitoba due to expanding urban development.
The interpretive center features exhibits about prairie ecology, including displays of 160 native plant species and an interactive art installation titled lost_landscape.
The museum opens from May through September, with self-guided trails available from dawn until dusk and guided educational programs for various age groups.
This protected area contains only 1/20 of 1% of Manitoba's original tall grass prairie, making it essential for studying and preserving native ecosystems.
