Species Finding Field Trip: Subarctic Darner

With all the biodiversity in the greater Sax-Zim Bog ecosystem, seeing the uncommon, rare, or difficult-to-find species can require special, targeted effort. This will be the third of this year’s new, species-focused field trip series. This field trip will focus on finding one of the few odonates with special conservation status in Minnesota: Subarctic Darner! This is a large dragonfly of open peatlands, with a preference for areas with Buckbean. Please note, this will be a strenuous field trip, with almost all the hiking done off-trail in uneven and wet conditions.
