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.
