ADV - Introduction to Minnesotas Mammal Meadowlands, MN

Friends of Sax-Zim Bog website

8793 Owl Avenue
Meadowlands, MN 55765

Minnesota contains a diverse set of biology included within the four major biomes in our state. There is a lot of interest by naturalists in the plants, birds, and bugs, but very few folks are recreationally interested in the mammals of the state! Which makes sense, to some degree, as mammals are typically a very difficult group of organisms to view. This course will serve as an introduction into the mammal diversity in Minnesota, as well as talk strategies to view some of these critters that call the wildlands and urban ecosystems home year-round.

This field trip will include indoor and outdoor portions, so do dress accordingly. Please bring anything that you might find helpful for observing mammals, such as optics or cameras. We will likely spend some time outdoors tracking. Note taking materials are always useful for courses like this as well! Plan on bringing a lunch and any snacks that you might need through the day. If you have any other questions about this class, please let Head Naturalist Clinton know following your registration for the course by emailing naturalist@saxzim.org.
