	Moose Mountain SNA minnesota_snas

	About Two rare plants, white baneberry and moschatel, are found here. Moschatel, the only species in its family in North America, is uncommon over most of its range, particularly with the loss of hardwood forest habitat. It prefers slopes with cold, moist air drainage. The best example of old growth hardwoods is on the south side of the power line, just over the top of the hill. The area upslope of the old growth and to the north shows direct evidence of the wildfires of the early 1900s.
