3 Boreal Basics Hike The forests of Duck Mountain Provincial Park are a southern representation of the vast boreal forest that stretches across three-quarters of Canada. A mixture of deciduous and coniferous trees, the boreal forest takes on its own unique character in Duck Mountain Provincial Park. On this hike, students will learn about this old growth trembling aspen forest mix and explore the flora and fauna along the trail. Grade 1 LT1.1, LT1.2, SE1.1, SE1.2 Grade 6 DL6.1, DL6.4 Interpretive Centre Scavenger Hunt Students will learn about Duck Mountain Provincial Park through a fun scavenger hunt of the Interpretive Centre. History, ecosystems, flora and fauna are all investigated in an interactive activity. Calcareous Fen Hike The Calcareous Fen trail is a 600m boardwalk that takes you through the unique ecosystem of this marsh area. Learn about the various carnivorous plants, unique flora, and rare wildlife that inhabit this area. The trail is on the south end of the park, near the ski hill, so transportation is required to get there. Biodiversity at its Best Hike Grassland Ghosts Hike While predominantly forested, Duck Mountain Provincial Park harbors isolated pockets of native grassland. In Little Boggy Creek Valley in the south-east corner of the park, prairie remnants are colored in flowers and grasses that are becoming increasingly rare outside protected areas. The hot, dry conditions on the south-facing slopes of the valley discourage the growth of trees and the prairie community thrives. Controlled burning of this area keeps the aspen forests at bay and preserves an ecosystem that once dominated the prairie. (This hike is a good extension of the Calcareous Fen hike, due to its proximity.) Grade 1 LT1.1, LT1.2, SE1.1, SE1.2 Grade 6 DL6.1, DL6.4 The southern location of the park s boreal forest, combined with its location on the western edge of the Duck Mountain Uplands, results in a richness of plant and animal life that can only be appreciated by a visit to the park. Over 180 species of birds and 35 species of mammals make the park their home. Such a wealth of life is possible because of the variety of very different settings or ecosystems found within the park. In addition to old growth aspen forests and grassland remnants, there are forests of white spruce and balsam fir, calcareous fens, black spruce bogs, paper birch stands, and lake shorelines that extend for miles. Grade 1 LT1.1, LT1.2, DS1.2 Grade 2 AN2.1, AW2.1, AW2.2 Grade 5 RW5.1 Grade 6 DL6.3
