SUMMARY:Savage Fen SNA and Seminary Fen
DESCRIPTION:See two gems of the Lower Minnesota River Valley consisting of sloping\, calcareous\, organic soil wetlands with springs and small\, groundwater‐fed\, marl streams. Fifteen members of the sedge family\, including 10 species of Carex\, as well as the exquisite white lady’s‐slipper orchid\, are anticipated highlights. Such floristic diversity in the heart of a large metropolitan area is rare. Problems with invasive species (buckthorn\, Phragmites\, hybrid cattail) will be discussed. We’ll also tour a small restoration area where a road fill was removed in 1986 and planted by Prairie Restoration\, Inc. in an attempt to restore a calcareous fen community. \nWhere: Savage Fen SNA (Savage) and Seminary Fen (Chaska/Chanhassen) \nLeader: Steve Eggers\, Senior Ecologist for the St. Paul District Corps of Engineers \nTo start the day\, participants should meet at the parking area for Savage Fen along 128th St. (this road is a dead end). Since this is an all‐day field trip\, please pack your own lunch\, bring plenty of water and bug spray.

SUMMARY:Carpenter Nature Center
DESCRIPTION:Come join other MNNPS members for an exploration of the moist cliff areas at Carpenter Nature Center. This is challenging topography\, not easily accessed\, and not entirely catalogued. Many species of ferns and liverworts are to be found on the cliff faces\, including walking fern\, fragile fern and bulblet fern. Lily‐leaved twayblade should be in bloom along the trail. \nLeader: Jyneen Thatcher\, Naturalist and MNNPS Board Member \nAt CNC\, park in the main lot and meet at the entrance to the visitor’s center. \nDue to the challenging and potentially hazardous terrain\, this field trip is limited to 12 participants.

SUMMARY:Dragonflies 101
DESCRIPTION:Digital dragonflies in an analog world? Join us for a different kind of field trip with a focus on dragonflies. We will spend about a half hour in the classroom reviewing dragonflies and then spend about an hour out in the wetland looking for dragonflies\, taking their photos when we can get them to pose and netting those that do not want to pose. We will have a projector available so the image will be shown on a very large screen instead of a computer monitor. There is no charge to participate\, but pre‐registration is required. \nLeader: John Arthur\, MNNPS Board Member and Dragonfly Expert
