The Nature Nook

The U of M Crookston Nature Nook near Owen Hall during the summer.

The Nature Nook stands alongside the June Shaver Butterfly Garden and is an outdoor area located near the Student Success Center. The space consists of a bog garden, coniferous forest, rain garden, deciduous forest, and several feeders and things for birds and squirrels to climb. The Nature Nook is a popular spot for students, faculty/staff, butterflies, and bees to congregate. It has been maintained and remodeled by natural resources classes in the past. During the summer months, it is a popular spot for the community for photography.
