SUMMARY:The Evolution of Wetland Seed Mixes\, Revegetation and Management
DESCRIPTION:The recorded presentation is available on the Video page. \nPresenter: Dan Shaw – Sr. Ecologist & Vegetation Specialist\, MN Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR) \nProgram: The Evolution of Wetland Seed Mixes\, Revegetation and Management \nDescription: Minnesota’s wetland plant communities are changing due to climate change\, development\, increased nutrients\, and invasive species. These impacts are contributing to declining pollinator\, bird\, and other wildlife populations\, and decreasing wetland functions. Fortunately\, the conservation community in Minnesota has been actively addressing challenges and pursuing new strategies for restoring and managing wetlands and other aquatic systems. This presentation will cover emerging methods for seed mix design\, site preparation\, seeding\, and wetland management; and we’ll discuss future challenges for wetlands and needs for further study and innovation. \nBiography: Dan Shaw is the Senior Ecologist and Vegetation Specialist with the Minnesota Board of Water and Soil Resources (BWSR). Over the last 30 years his work has focused on plant community restoration\, climate mitigation and adaptation\, rare species protection\, invasive species control and building conservation partnerships. He has also taught ecological design and restoration classes at the University of Minnesota for the past 25 years and authored or co-authored several books on native plants and restoration.

SUMMARY:Iron Springs Bog Scientific and Natural Area
DESCRIPTION:A day of touring the SNA. \nWhere: Iron Springs Bog SNA\, MN Trunk Highway 200\, Clearwater County. See map. \nWhen: Saturday August 15\, 2026 (10:00 AM to 2:00 PM) \nLeader: Rhett Johnson\, MNDNR\, Minnesota Biological Survey. \nThe field trip will be led by Rhett Johnson and will involve exploring the native plant communities on the SNA\, including Mesic Hardwood Forest NPCs\, Forested Peatland NPCs\, Wet Meadow\, and an upland prairie restoration on the adjacent University of Minnesota property. Waterproof boots are recommended. \nAs always\, this field trip is for members of the MN Native Plant Society only and will be limited to 10 registrants; pre-registration is required. \nIn the event of potential bad weather\, participants will be notified of any changes to the day. \nTo register for this field trip\, email Ken Arndt.
