ADV - Spiders in Minnesota
Sax-Zim Bog, 8793 Owl Avenue, Meadowlands, MN website
8793 Owl AvenueMeadowlands, MN 55765
While field trips allow us to explore and experience an ecosystem and the species found within that ecosystem, there is often not time to delve into the nuance of specific groups. Spiders are an interesting bunch: some folks have nothing but nice things to say about them, while others cannot bear to be within several hundred feet of these eight-legged wonders. The Sax-Zim Bog has nearly 150 species of spider, including several first state record and dozens of new county record species in the last few years. This course will take a deeper dive into the world of spiders! We will spend some time indoors learning about the natural and cultural history of spiders, ID tips and pointers, and how to better coexist with these creatures. Following this, we will head out and about to talk about webs and look for some spiders. This is a great course for those wishing to learn a little more about spiders and perhaps build a positive relationship with this awesome group of critters!
Please bring notebooks, binoculars, lunch, refillable water bottle, or any thing you might need for the outdoors. There will be some time spent indoors, but the bulk of the day will be outside, stationary, and mostly listening! Any travel will be done over even terrain and we will be carpooling to multiple locations during the day.
The course cost is $35 and includes course manuals and supplies.
