Programs Summer 2009
at The Audubon Center
Come
enjoy the learning adventures the North Woods has to offer!
Minnesota: Loons, Living Waters,
And Ancient Rocks Of The Earth
Program #11538ENZ July 12-17, 2009 Cost: $593
Minnesota has a wonderful diversity of life that can be explored by boat, on foot and with a little scientific investigation. Sample a few of our 10,000 lakes, and float among loons and water lilies; study life above and below the water, including beautiful and bizarre insects. Visit Jay Cooke State Park where geological stories are cut into deep canyons of Precambrian rocks by the roiling waters of the St. Louis. Search for the beautiful Minnesota Agate and handle volcanic rocks that are over two billion years old. Listen to the story of Lake Superior and the harbor of Duluth. If you are a fan of scenic landforms, complex natural stories and diverse natural communities, this program will be an exercise in both mind and body.
