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.
