Brokenhead Wetland Ecological Reserve

Brokenhead Wetland Ecological Reserve is an ecological reserve northeast of  Scanterbury, Manitoba, Canada. It was established in 2005 under the Manitoba Ecological Reserves Act. It is 12.4 km2 in size.

Flora
According to the Government of Manitoba's informational PDF about the site,

"The reserve contains 23 species of provincially rare and uncommon plants. Twenty-eight of Manitoba’s 36 native orchid species, including the rare ram’s head lady’s-slipper, are found in the wetland along with eight of Manitoba’s 10 species of carnivorous (insect-eating) plants. A rare white cedar community also forms part of the wetland area."

Among the carnivorous plants found in the reserve are the purple pitcher-plant, common butterwort, sundew and common bladderwort. The reserve includes a calcareous fen, a habitat that is essential to the survival of the rare plant species.

Conservation
According to the Government of Manitoba's informational PDF about the site,

"Manitoba Conservation and Water Stewardship has partnered with Debwendon Inc. to create an interpretive trail and boardwalk on the Crown land adjacent to the ecological reserve. This was also made possible through funding support from the Eugene Reimer Environment Fund at The Winnipeg Foundation. The installation of the boardwalks and interpretive signage allows the public to safely visit the area for aesthetic, educational and cultural reasons without causing further damage to the native plants and their habitat."
