Boreal Plant Walk in English and North Sámi with Dr. Áila O’Loughlin

Where do Birch and Pine trees, blueberries, and sweetgrass grow? Sápmi, of course (Yes—and Minnesota, too!). Many plants in the boreal region grow in the northernmost part of the Scandinavian peninsula of Europe and around the Great Lakes region of North America. This Boreal Plant Walk, led by Áila O’Loughlin, sets out at a Twin Cities park (location TBD) and takes a stroll through the woods, stopping to learn a little about each plant that grows in both regions and the plant names in Northern Sámi.
