History & Significant Features
The Orlowski Nature Reserve is 98 acres of wetland, forest and grassland habitats located in Wiarton, Ontario. Wiarton is a community in the town of South Bruce Peninsula. The land was generously donated by Dan Orlowski in 2019. A large proportion of the reserve is covered by Rankin River Wetland (PSW). These diverse habitats provide homes to many different species of flora and fauna. The wetland complex provides shelter for reptiles, birds and mammals such as painted and snapping turtles, waterfowl, sandhill cranes and beavers. The forested areas provide a safe space for pileated woodpeckers, bobolinks, flying squirrels, deer and black bears. And the grasslands provide important habitat for pollinating invertebrates.
