More Information

This program series is presented as part of the ongoing partnership between the Minneapolis Park and Recreation Board (MPRB) and the Loppet Foundation, which has provided year-round outdoor recreation opportunities, primarily in Theodore Wirth Regional Park, since 2017. 

MPRB naturalists hosting the programs typically work at Eloise Butler Wildflower Garden and Bird Sanctuary - another Theodore Wirth Park destination that is closed in winter but welcomes visitors from April through October.
