Family Tree Walks at Mississippi River Visitor Center

Mississippi Park Connection and the Mississippi National River and Recreation Area

A new and engaging Tree Walk program at the Mississippi River Visitor Center designed for families or groups with students in grades 4-6!

Mississippi River Visitor Center

Learn to identify up to five specific tree types that can be found in your neighborhood. This self-guided activity is designed to help young people learn and teach about our woody neighbors. Registered participants will check in and grab a field guide from a park ranger at the visitor center, located inside the Science Museum of Minnesota, then walk to the nearby Upper Landing Park to find up to five tree species while engaging in fun field guide activities. Afterward, return to the visitor center to receive a tree debrief from a park ranger and discuss your findings. This self-guided one hour activity is designed for families with kids in grades 4-6, but anyone can join the fun and learn something new! Easily register in advance by selecting a date and time slot. Plan to arrive and check in at the visitor center any time during your selected time slot. Some walk-ups will be accommodated, as available. Once checked in, feel free to experience the program at your own pace until the visitor center closes (6 PM on Friday and Saturday; 5 PM on Sunday). For more information, please contact Andrew Marotz at amarotz@parkconnection.org.Program coordinated by Mississippi Park Connection and the National Park Service, with support from the National Park Foundation.
