Winter Wonder Woods

What is the Mississippi floodplain forest like in winter? On a flat, unpaved, one-mile hiking loop, we will play a short game and then explore this ecosystem. Trees look dead now. How do we tell if they are? How do trees make food? Can wild animals use trees through the winter? What other plants live here? What about fungus and lichen? Are floodplain forests good for people? Bundle up and join us for a fun, informative walk to kickstart your weekend!

Free to Attend! Registration is required. We’ll meet at the parking lot for the Prairie Island Nature Trails (left off of Prairie Island Road, near old deer park), starting at Latsch Shelter.
