Description

From plants to birds to insects to water quality, there are so many ways to explore natural science in Minnehaha Regional Park! Learn from natural science professionals and participate in community science as we explore the park from creek to prairie to forest to gardens. Follow Minnehaha Creek upstream from the Mississippi River through the Lower Glen and admire Minnehaha Falls. We’ll end our week together on Thursday with a hike up to Lake Hiawatha to go canoeing. It’ll be a natural science adventure!


* Pick up on Thursday only will be at Lake Nokomis Playground
