EVENTS
Kick off your Pride Weekend with us on Saturday, June 21st for a morning of birding and community as we enjoy visiting our bird relatives at Battle Creek. We’ll be joined by our partners at the Urban Bird Collective for this special morning connecting to nature and community.
We're seeking volunteers for our second annual BioBlitz at Waḳaƞ Ṭipi! The BioBlitz will be on Saturday, August 2nd from 9am to 1pm at Waḳaƞ Ṭipi (Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary - 4th St E, St Paul, MN 55106)
A BioBlitz is an event that focuses on finding and identifying as many species as possible with the goal being to get an overall count of the plants, animals, and other organisms that live in a place. This is an opportunity for all members of the community to learn from and collect data with environmental professionals and community partners as we survey pollinators, plants, dragonflies, birds and more.
All ages and backgrounds are welcome and no prior experience is necessary. Click here to register!
