Tuesday #5 Bruce Vento Sanctuary

June 1, 2010
This is the fifth of six of SPAS’ regular Tuesday morning bird walks.

Special Instructions The Bruce Vento Nature Sanctuary is located near the intersection of East Fourth Street and Commercial Street, just east of Saint Paul’s Lowertown neighborhood at the foot of Dayton’s Bluff. The Kellogg Bridge runs along the northwest boundary of the sanctuary, which lies below it. It is not easy to findso here are a couple suggestions.
Julian suggests: You can mapquest 4th St E & Commercial Street, or take 5th St. E. from downtown near the Farmers’ Market to 4th St. E., or take Commercial Street from Mounds Boulevard.
Phalen area web site: FROM THE WEST, take the Mounds Boulevard exit off of Interstate 94, turn right crossing Kellogg/East Third Street. Stay right, and take a sharp right turn on Commercial Street then go down the hill to the first intersection (Fourth Street).
FROM THE EAST, take the Mounds Boulevard exit off I-94 and turn left before making a quick right turn on Commercial Street and following the directions above.
FROM LOWERTOWN, begin at the corner of East Fifth Street and Broadway (across the street from the northeast edge of the Saint Paul Farmers’ Market.) Head east on Fifth Street then turn right on John Street and left on East Fourth Street to the sanctuary.
Registration: No registration required.

Difficulty: Easy
