The Town of LaSalle is lucky to still have a small but substantial amount of land consisting of Carolinian woods, provincially important wetlands, and tall grass prairie areas in an area of Ontario with less than 4 percent tree cover for the entire province. Approximately 7% of all land within the Town of LaSalle’s corporate boundaries is forested and/or includes plant species and wildlife habitat that is considered a "natural heritage area" from a biological point of view. Natural heritage areas are characterized as locations that are relatively undisturbed and that maintain certain ecological functions such as providing wildlife habitat.
