Moths and More Evening Field Trip

At almost 600 species, moths are the most species rich group documented in the greater Sax-Zim Bog!

Even though they are one of the most species rich groups of insects, moths don’t get the same attention as their day flying relatives: butterflies!

Moths often surpass their cousins in color, pattern, behavior, and specialized relationship to plants. This field trip will serve as a good introduction to the moth diversity in Northeastern Minnesota.

The Mayowood Historic Landscape (in person or virtual)

Come with us as we take a look at the historic landscape of Mayowood. This presentation, which includes over 100 images of the grounds and the house, looks at the what, how, and whys of Dr. Charlie's creation of the landscape around Mayowood. What kinds of gardens did he design and why? How did the house interact with the landscape on which it was placed? Learn about all of this and more in this talk at the History Center presented by Jane Yunginer, who has studied the historic landscape of Mayowood.

Carnivorous and Odd-Ball Plants Field Trip

Carnivorous and Odd-Ball Plants Field Trip
Sax-Zim Bog

As we know, the Sax-Zim Bog is a network of habitats, which, in turn, allow for a large diversity of flowering plants! Some species are especially odd, especially considering the ways that they have adapt to thrive in less-than-ideal ecosystems. This field trip will place a special focus on the “plant weirdos” found within the Sax-Zim Bog, including pitcher plants, sundews, ghost pipe, pinesaps, coralroots, bladderworts, and more!
