Rare Species Guide User Survey
The Rare Species Guide is a dynamic, interactive resource for information on Minnesota's endangered, threatened and special concern species. You can make the Rare Species Guide even better by taking this short survey.
Whether you are a resource manager, a local government official, a concerned citizen, or a community leader, it is important to understand how local ecosystems are impacted by everyday decisions. Regional (Plant) Ecologists can help by providing information about the original vegetation, existing native plant communities, and native rare plants and animals in your area. This information can inform stewardship of public and private lands, parks and open space planning, and comprehensive planning.
