In Mendota Heights, the Dodge Nature Center Organization owns several older properties and run wonderful nature programs on the grounds. This painting is of the Lilly property which covers 170 acres. Maple syrup processing, picking apples, learning about raptors and the ecosystem are some of my kids favorite programs offered at the central West St. Paul, Dodge Nature center. Completed in 2008.
