SUMMARY:Lost Valley Prairie SNA: Interpretive Hike and Volunteer Event
DESCRIPTION:Leaders:\nMichael Lynch: Botanist\nSteve Poole: Lost Valley SNA Site Steward\nJim Smetana: Lost Valley SNA Site Steward \nLost Valley Prairie is an outstanding example of bedrock bluff prairie. Ridge crests and upper slopes host a diversity of prairie grasses; wildflowers such as puccoon\, stiff gentian and prairie smoke. Of special interest are the fire-dependent Hill’s thistle\, a Minnesota special concern species\, and state-threatened rock sandwort known to occur at only a few sites in the state. \nThe first part of the day from 10AM to noon will be an interpretive hike led by Mike\, Steve and Jim throughout the SNA to observe the plants and creatures that make this place home. Following the interpretive hike there will be lunch (bring your own) and then folks are encouraged to help Steve and Jim with sumac removal for an hour or so. For those staying to help with sumac removal make sure to bring a good pair of work gloves and eye protection. All other tools used for sumac removal will be provided by the site stewards. \nField trips are open to MNNPS members only and pre-registration is required.
