If you do not find a chapter near you, or if you choose not to be part of a Wild Ones chapter, you may choose to be a Partner At Large (PAL). A PAL is not assigned to a chapter but joins a group of members who work solo in their own communities or simply enjoy the benefits of a Wild Ones membership. Either way – as a chapter member or as a PAL, you receive all the benefits of membership. Join Now!

to (Central Time)
1205 18th St SW, Owatonna, MN, 55060 Map

Public Welcome Program/Speaker Presentation Group Tour Nature Walk/Hike Free Public Parking

Time and date may change - It will be determined by season and timing of ephemerals (we have to go on their schedule, not ours). 

Spring ephemerals such as Mayapple, Trout Lilu, Spring Beauty, Dutchman's Breeches, Hepatica, Virginia Bluebells, wood poppies, Jack-in-the-Pulpit, and more.  Wild Ramps may also be seen.  Since spring ephemerals pop up in woods before the trees leaf out and complete their life cycles very quickly, Spring is the only time to see these beauties.  

We will offer a ride share from Emmaus Church in Northfield.
