Explore a sampling of Riding Mountain's richly varied habitat, a living web that at first seems randomly disorganized, but on examination reveals certain set patterns of growth and succession. Fire, grassland and forest all play a role, supporting a population of birds, mammals and insects that in many cases have evolved to exploit one particular stage of succession.
Over the next several decades the forest and prairie may change dramatically. Constant change is an ever-present feature of a landscape left unhindered to follow its own schedule of growth.
We invite you to observe and enjoy this naturalist's delight, the Brûlé Trail.
