Enjoy a Saturday morning hike through parts of the Arboretum to view spring wildflowers including the Grace B. Dayton Wildflower Garden which features native plants of the deciduous woodlands and includes a collection of Minnesota's state flower, the Showy Lady's-slipper. Folks should have the opportunity to see many other spring wildflowers like Bloodroot, Trilliums, Virginia Bluebells, Bellwort, Hepatica, Trout Lilies and more.

Lost Valley Prairie is an outstanding example of bedrock bluff prairie. Ridge crests and upper slopes host a diversity of prairie grasses; wildflowers such as puccoon, stiff gentian and prairie smoke. Of special interest are the fire-dependent Hill's thistle, a Minnesota special concern species, and state-threatened rock sandwort known to occur at only a few sites in the state.

The first part of the day from 10AM to noon will be an interpretive hike throughout the SNA to observe the plants and creatures that make this place home. Following the interpretive hike there will be lunch (bring your own) and then folks are encouraged to help with sumac removal for an hour or so.

Come and enjoy a weekend in the far reaches of northern Minnesota to Norris Camp to explore parts of the Red Lake WMA. Participants will get to hike for much of Saturday and part of Sunday with an evening program on Saturday as well as a good old-fashioned potluck.
