Minnesota Biome Hike

This two-mile guided nature walk will allow you to experience habitats found within the three biomes of our state. A Minnesota Master Naturalist will guide you through a tamarack bog, oak woodland and restored prairie and describe the plant communities, creatures and ecological processes present. You will set up a trail camera and learn how to age trees. Stop to rest, listen and look for birds as well as other animals living in this forest. Wear sturdy walking shoes and bring water, snacks and binoculars, if you have them.

Please park at the lot on the north end of the forest:  

• Linwood School Forest & Community Park, 6256 227th Ave NE, Stacy, MN
• Look for this sign: 6335-SP24

No restrooms on-site. There is a Linwood Country Store Gas Station on Viking Blvd with public restrooms. See Map: https://bit.ly/3wiN55o
