SUMMARY:Ordway Prairie
DESCRIPTION:Plant Identification Focusing on Native Prairie and Wetland Species  \nWhere: Ordway Prairie\, 31505 MN Highway-104\, south of Glenwood\, MN \nWhen: Saturday September 11th\, 2021 (Noon to 3:00 PM) \nLeader: Rhett Johnson\, DNR Prairie Specialist \nCome join Rhett Johnson for a day of native prairie and wetland plant identification at Ordway Prairie located in western MN south of Glenwood\, MN off of highway 104. Rhett Johnson has worked for the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources (DNR) for five years where his duties include prairie management\, developing easements on private lands\, prescribed fire\, ecological evaluation\, and teaching people about plants. His career has included working for a private ecological consulting firm\, The Nature Conservancy\, and the University of Minnesota\, Crookston. Rhett also worked for eight years as an independent botanist on projects all over the country. \nThe grasslands of the Great Plains once covered one fifth of the North American Continent. Ordway Prairie represents a fraction of what remains after the West was settled. Visitors are reminded of the history of the Great Plains through the numerous granite boulders and potholes that are evidence of the area’s glacial past. The relatively undisturbed quality of Ordway Prairie’s grasslands and wetlands attracted the Nature Conservancy more than 30 years ago. Rhett will guide a tour of Ordway Prairie focusing on grass identification. However\, we’ll identify as many plants as we can in both wetland and upland areas. \nAgenda: \n11:45-12:00  Gather at Parking Area \n12:00-2:45  Tour of Various Sites and Hands-On Plant Identification \n2:45-3:00 Wrap-up Q&A and Discussion \nThis field trip is for members of the MN Native Plant Society only and will be limited to 20 registrants. \nItems to Bring:\n \n\nHat\nSunglasses\nWater/snacks\nBug/tick Spray\nPen or Pencil\nNotebook\nPlant Identification Books\nHand Lens\nBoots\, tick gators\, long pants/sleeves (ticks and poison ivy are present)\n\nTo register for this field trip please contact:\nField Trip Coordinator: Jennifer Kamm.
