Carpenter Nature Center: Early Summer Ravine/Cliffs

Carpenter St. Croix Valley Nature Center 12805 St. Croix Trail S, Hastings

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. Several unusual woodland sedges are also present, and lily-leaved twayblade should be in bloom along the trail.
