A Wildflower Tour of prairie openings in the oak savanna will be held at Sherburne National Wildlife Refuge on Saturday, June 13 beginning at 10:00 a.m. 
Dazzling spring flowers such as wild lupine, hoary puccoon, columbine, wild geranium and large-flowered beardtongue are expected to be seen. Participants will also learn to recognize plants that flower later in the season.
This tour celebrates National Pollinator Week. The future of wildflowers relies on pollinators such a bees, moths, butterflies, and other insects plus birds and wind. Tour leaders will be Marv Ziner and Robin DeLong, volunteer naturalists experienced with wildflowers. The tour will begin at the Old School House and from there car-pool to the Wildlife Drive. This program is free and open to the public.
To register, call Nancy Haugen, Visitor Services Manager, at 763-389-3323 ext. 13. The Old School House is located on Sherburne County Road 9, 5.5 miles west of Highway 169.
