Living Prairie Museum

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Living Prairie Museum is a 12 hectare (30acre) tall grass prairie preserve located in Winnipeg, Manitoba, Canada. It was set aside in 1968 as a preserve is home to over 160 species of prairie plants and a great array of prairie wildlife. In Manitoba only 1/20th of 1% of original tall grass prairie remains. The Living Prairie Museum is one of the few preserves of this once vast ecosystem.

The museum has an interpretative centre and an artist in residence.
