The Sax-Zim Bog is a large and somewhat unexplored area just northwest of Duluth. This class will learn about the geologic history of the bog and its location. We’ll look at the people who have tried to settle the bog and in many cases failed. Thousands of birders and photographers visit the bog each winter to view special bog birds, but there are also lots of other animals hanging out in the bog. In the summer, the bog is alive with an array of native wild orchids, other flowers, and critters that thrive in this undisturbed wetland. Join us as we explore this amazing place that is just up the road.
