SW Ontario, Carolinian Forest HOME OF THE CAROLINIAN FOREST Dominated by deciduous trees, The Carolinian Forest covers the southern most part of Ontario along Lake Erie and Lake Ontario. Trees that are a Southern Species are found nowhere else in Canada. Only here can you walk through a forest where southern species such as Tulip Tree, Kentucky Coffee Tree, Black Oak, Black Gum, Shagbark Hickory, and Sassafras are mixed with more familiar species like Sugar Maple and American Beech. RARE REPTILES and AMPHIBIANS also are found in the same area such as: Spotted Turtles, Eastern Spiny Softshell Turtles, Jefferson Salamanders, Lake Erie Water Snake, Fowler's Toad. Monarch Butterflies pass through here by the thousands and settle on the tips of Point Pelee and Long Point before their long fall migration to Mexico. Birdwatchers love the area especially Long Point, Port Rowan and Port Burwell, as rare varieties land on their way north or south, including Whistling or Tundra Swans. Hawk migrations are also popular in Autumn. Contributor's Note Have a nice forest visit.
