About
Jun 11, 2020 Let’s be real, most of us probably won’t be making the trek out to Black Lake Bog SNA, or any peatland SNAs for that matter. They’re large, buggy, wet and difficult to navigate. But, whether or not you ever see it in person, it is rewarding to know that we, as Minnesotans, have together protected this important habitat for the rare and wild in Minnesota. |
