Katharine Ordway Natural History Study Area  Macalester
is one of only a handful of small private colleges in the nation that
have their own field station. Approximately 17 miles from campus,
the Katharine Ordway Natural History Study Area consists of 278 acres
of remnant tallgrass prairie, oak woodland, flood plain forest,
temporary freshwater ponds, and a Mississippi River backwater lake.
The field station is used by several of our classes and has been
used as a research site by both faculty and students. In addition
a number of restoration projects are taking place at the site. Ordway website
