About this event

#13. Exploring Barksdale Ponds State Natural Area (FT-3) 1:00 pm – 4:45 pm Barksdale Ponds SNA hosts a unique aquatic feature on the edge of a dry, glacial outwash plain. Situated on hilly topography, the numerous soft water seepage lakes and ponds are surrounded by associated emergent, partially submerged and shoreline communities, maturing red and white pine forests, and kettle bogs. Join US Fish and Wildlife Service biologist, Mitch Baalman, for a two-mile roundtrip hike on upland trail, spying birds and other wildlife along the way, with periodic forays into floating bogs sporting rare northern plants. Waterproof footwear is strongly recommended.
