Black Earth | Big River

Cross over the bridge and let the River guide you through the natural habitats of the QC area. Explore wetlands, woodlands, prairies and your own backyard. Find out what lives in a rotting log. Explore a huge oak tree---from the inside out. Listen to the sounds of the marsh and the stories of the people who live on the River. Come face-to-face with live Mississippi River fish in our 718-gallon aquarium. Discover how invasive species are threatening local ecosystems and what you can do to preserve your watershed. You'll do this and more when you see the area's natural habitats as you've never seen them before in Black Earth/Big River.
