Calcareous fens are extremely unique and rare wetlands that are home to a variety of plants. With only hundreds in known existence around the world, the Lower Minnesota River Watershed District is lucky to be home to six fens, including Seminary Fen. You can help protect this priceless resource by working with a team to remove buckthorn, an invasive species that threatens the growth and health of native plants on Sunday, April 14th (8am-12pm). Hosted by the Minnesota Native Plant Society, volunteers will cut and treat the buckthorn and stack the cuttings. Tools and instructions will be available on-site. Learn more about how to participate and register.
