A Monthly Morning Walk with Linda

Join Linda Whyte’s substitute Chase Davies for this end of summer walk on mowed trails, the fourth of a series of monthly walks to see what is happening on property special enough to be put into conservation easement with the MN DNR.

Linda is an enthusiastic naturalist and SPAS field trip leader. She is very familiar with the many inhabitants of this unique area.

Visiting a special place repeatedly is often recommended, for it is with familiarity of a special place that develops interest, love, and care for its many seasonal and annual faces. With Linda’s leadership, you may learn ways to help you explore your Special Places.
