Brokenhead Wetland Ecological Reserve protects 1,240 hectares of rare wetland habitat in southeastern Manitoba, including one of the few calcareous fens in North America. The reserve is home to more than 20 provincially rare or uncommon plant species, including 28 native orchids and eight carnivorous plants, like pitcher plants and sundews. Long used by the Brokenhead Ojibway Nation for gathering medicinal plants and practicing traditional land use, the area remains a vital place for both biodiversity and cultural heritage, with public access available via the nearby interpretive boardwalk trail.
