Goals

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 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 have been created for many sites where no maps are otherwise available.

Compass
Viewing Nature in Minnesota

In 2004 the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources funded an Outdoor Recreation Participation Survey of Minnesotans. Among the findings: 18% of Minnesotans participate in “Viewing, identifying or photographing wildflowers, trees, and natural vegetation.” This Web site is designed to be a resource for those 18% of Minnesotans.
