Deanna Leigh coordinator of MN DNR Plant Watch group – saving rare native plants:  Rare ones in Wild Habitats

Established in 2023, MN PlantWatch is a community science-driven initiative that supports and informs the conservation of Minnesota’s rare native plant species. MN PlantWatch volunteers search and survey for rare plants in their natural habitats, documenting their location, and providing information about population health and habitat threats.

This program is a partnership between the Minnesota Department of Natural Resources and the University of Minnesota Landscape Arboretum , in collaboration with the Bell Museum Herbarium , Minnesota Master Naturalist Program  and the Minnesota Native Plant Society
