University of Minnesota field station (est. 1907) inside of Itasca State Park (est. 1891). Conservation forerunner. Common ground for nature, science & people.
Read about our incredible exchange with @ItascaBio this summer. I was lucky to get to learn from @shroominn -- thanks to @OBFSFieldBio for supporting this exchange (highly recommend to other field stations out there)
The @UMich Biological Station and the University of Minnesota Itasca Biological Station and Laboratories took time this summer to learn from each other. Teams visited their counterpart’s campus as part of a field station exchange program. @ItascaBio@UMBSmyumi.ch/Q656V

Station just said goodbye to 110 people with Hydrogeology field camp, RIDGSs workshop, Iowa State demming lake research crew, Science of Craft students, and a sustainability retreat group. Still crankin’, and it’s lovely! @umncbs
A spectacular clump of showy lady's-slippers! Minnesota orchid expert Welby Smith notes that large clumps such as this can be well over a hundred years old...
Twas the night before field courses, and all through the station, not a creature was stirring…wait, everything was stirring. Its spring. Itasca is exploding with life right now. It’s game on @umncbs
