The following is a short list of the plants that can be found along the McGillivary Falls hiking trail in the Whiteshell Provincial Park, southeastern Manitoba. The plants listed here are just a start, representing those seen during a walk of the trail July 3, 2004. There are many, many more plant species in this area. The trail was set up by Conservation Manitoba as an interpretive tail that is easy to follow and has markers along the path indicating various points of interest. The following species are listed by genus name and generally follow Budd's Flora of the Canadian Prairie Provinces © 1979. The list of lichens comes from a Lichen workshop with Irwin Brodo June 19-21, 2003.
