ADV - Snow Ecology, Meadowlands

8793 Owl Avenue
Meadowlands, MN 55765

Minnesotans have a couple of very interesting quirks. We love to talk about the weather and we love to complain about the weather! In a state as dynamic as ours, how much do we actually know about the season that has become such a huge part of our cultural identity? Is winter really that important? Does snow cover matter? This field trip will serve as a good introduction to everything snow! Join us for this interesting foray into the winter wonderland around us.

This field trip will have indoor and outdoor components. Please bring a hand lens (if you do not have a hand lens there are plenty to borrow!) or other optics to help you see close up. Notebooks, cameras, and other items that you might find useful for time out in the field would be useful. Bring a lunch, refillable water bottle (water is available for refills at the Welcome Center), and any cameras or notetaking materials you might need for 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

The course cost is $35 and includes course manuals and supplies.
