Orchids of the Sax-Zim Bog Field Trip

The Sax-Zim Bog is home to at least 20 species of orchid, including healthy populations of Pink Ladyslipper, Purple-fringed Orchid, and Minnesota’s State Flower: Showy Ladyslipper! This year’s field trip is about a week earlier than normal, which means we have the opportunity to see some different species than the typical Orchid Field Trip! We will cover a lot of ground, hoping to find orchids that represent the impressive diversity of the Sax-Zim Bog. This trip will likely involve a little “bog stomping” so rubber boots are a must! This year, we also have the special opportunity to see at least 2 species we seldom get to see on our usual, annual Orchid Field Trip.

***REGISTRATION REQUIRED***

Field Trip attendance is free for Friends of Sax-Zim Bog members (those who have donated $25 or more within the past year). If you are interested in membership, the $25 fee covers membership and free entry to all field trips and programs (excluding workshops) in a 12-month period!
