The goals of this website are twofold. The first goal is to provide information on flora, fauna, and fungi occurring naturally (outside of cultivation) within the state. The information provided should be sufficient to enable a viewer to identify a taxon to to the species, subspecies, and/or variety. Photos are included when available.

The second goal is to provide information on sites in Minnesota where flora, fauna, and fungi can be viewed in their natural habitat by the interested public. Maps will be created for sites where no maps are otherwise provided.
