The Ojibway Prairie Complex is the largest protected tallgrass habitat left in the province. Now this cornucopia of rare flora and fauna is threatened by a multi-million-dollar bridge project.

At the centre of current debate about the security of the prairie and prairie-dependent species in Windsor is a large, multi-million-dollar bridge project, which includes not only a new international bridge crossing but also a new six-lane freeway, along with associated service roads and an inspection plaza.
