SUMMARY:Moose Mountain SNA\, A Late Summer Hike in the North Shore Highlands
DESCRIPTION:Where:       Duluth\, Minnesota \nWhen:        Saturday August 24th\, 2019 (Time TBD) \nLeaders:     Brooke Haworth\, MNDNR NE Region Plant Ecologist & AmberBeth VanNingen\, MNDNR SNA NE Region Specialist \nMoose Mountain SNA is located in Duluth\, in the North Shore Highlands ECS subsection. Moose Mountain is a bedrock ridge “held up” by an underlying erosion-resistant diabase sill\, formed by intrusion of magma between pre-existing rock layers. At its peak\, the mountain rises nearly 550 feet above the elevation of Lake Superior\, which is less than a mile away as the crow (or raven) flies. \nThe SNA straddles the ridge\, hosting both north- and south-facing forested slopes. It was selected for protection as an excellent example of northern hardwoods\, in particular a 55-acre stand of old-growth sugar maple-basswood forest. This stand has been the focus of research into dynamics of northern hardwood communities along Minnesota’s north shore\, exploring ways that human-caused climate change might affect the distribution of sugar maple trees. The remainder of the site’s uplands are dominated by aspen-birch forest\, while lowlands in the northwest corner of the SNA near the Lester River are occupied by wet forest\, with black ash\, aspen and balsam poplar. \nLogistics \n\nMeet at 10 am at the (small) SNA parking area. Carpooling from Duluth could be helpful.\nDirections: north from Duluth on MN Hwy 61 N\, to Lester River Rd (Co Rd 12) for 3.4 miles. Parking lot on east side of road. Lat/Lon: 46.881545\, -91.983906\n\nNotes: This SNA features steep/sloped terrain throughout. Can be slippery and wet. Bring appropriate hydration and field gear. \nField trips are open to MNNPS members only and pre-registration is required. Send an email to Ken Arndt at ken.arndt@mnrinc.us to register.
