Event Details
Celebrate one of the most iconic animals by coming out to Minneopa State Park for a talk about North America Prairie Bison. The Minneopa Area Naturalist will tell the story of how this noble animal barely survived becoming extinct and the effort to save it. Minneopa currently has twenty bison and part of the MN Bison Conversation Herd, an effort by the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources in partnership with the MN Zoo to preserve the genetics of the prairie bison. Meet at the Seppmann Mill on the campground side of Minneopa off of Highway 68. Wear clothing and shoes appropriate for outdoor hiking.
