Meeting Information
Mission Statement
Our mission is to educate and to share information on the benefits of preserving and landscaping with native plants in order to promote biodiversity, environmentally sound practices, and a sense of place by featuring the plants that make the Minnesota Arrowhead region the beautiful place that it is.
Meeting Information
The chapter generally meets at 7:00 PM on the fourth Wednesday of the month at the environmentally friendly Hartley Nature Center building located just off Woodland Avenue in Duluth. Our programs are a part of Hartley Nature Center's weekly Adult Night Out. During the summer, we often have outings and community garden maintenance gatherings (that are really fun!) instead of programs.
Community Outreach
The chapter frequently takes field trips including native plant identification hikes, tours of native plant nurseries, and demonstration "show me, help me" sessions at members' homes. The chapter maintains a demonstration native plant garden in Leif Erikson Park in Duluth.

Climate Change and Native Plants
Julie Etterson, Associate Professor, Department of Biology, UMD
7pm, Hartley Nature Center, 3001 Woodland Ave. Duluth
Global climate change is imposing a natural experiment on earth's biota that will require populations of organisms to either adjust to the changing environment by range shifts, adaptive plasticity and evolution, or face extinction. In this seminar, I will describe our current knowledge on this topic and describe work I am conducting to improve our understanding of the impact of climate change on native plant populations
