Carnivorous and Odd-ball Plants Field Trip

The Sax-Zim Bog is a network of habitats that allows for a large and interesting diversity of flowering plants. Some species are especially odd considering the ways they have adapted to thrive in less-than-ideal conditions, like those found in bogs and the shallow, acidic soils of northern Minnesota. This field trip places a special focus on the plant “weirdos” found within the Sax-Zim Bog, including pitcher plants, sundews, ghost pipe, pinesaps, coralroots, bladderworts and more.

Field Trip attendance is free for Friends of Sax-Zim Bog members. The $25 membership fee covers free entry to all field trips and programs, excluding workshops, in a 12-month period.

Registration is required at saxzim.org. Registrants meet at the Friends of Sax-Zim Bog Welcome Center and Lois King Education Center at 10 a.m. The field trip concludes at 3 p.m.
