Do you want to experience Minnesota Valley National Wildlife Refuge in a new way? Join the Nature’s Notebook project! Looking at plants and animals up-close and with purpose using the Nature's Notebook smartphone app, you will discover so much more about the nature you see every day. Observing the life cycles of ~20 selected plants and animals along Refuge trails from spring through fall is fun and helps contribute to scientific discovery! Your observations are recorded in a national science database that monitors these species and informs Refuge management.
