natural areas that the City maintains fall into four general categories, each of which is home to a
unique variety of plants, animals and insects. Grassland Areas Typically, a mix of native and
non-native grasses, wildflowers and shrubs. These areas tend to be located along Regina’s creeks
and waterways above the top of the bank where the land is dryer. Wetland / Marsh Areas Typically, a
mix of native and non-native grasses, reeds, cattails and other emergent (growing in the water)
plants, along with some wildflowers, trees and shrubs. These areas are located along Regina’s
creeks and waterways between the top of the bank and the water’s edge, where the land is wetter.
Woodlot / Forested Areas Typically, a mix of trees and shrubs with a groundcover of native and
non-native grasses and wildflowers. They can be located either right beside creeks and waterways or
up the bank away from the water. Savannah Areas Typically, a mix of native and non-native grasses,
wildflowers and trees with few or no shrubs. These areas tend to be located along Regina’s creeks
and waterways above the top of the bank where the land is dryer, but where trees have been planted
or grow naturally within a grassland area. ...
