Explore. Educate. Connect.
The Lee and Rose Warner Nature Center is located 30 miles northeast of St. Paul, Minnesota near historic Marine on St. Croix. The oldest private nature center in Minnesota, Warner features over 600 acres of undeveloped woodland, marsh, lake, bog and grasslands. Within the Trailside Museum, visitors can learn about our public natural history programs, learn how to become a volunteer or Friend of Warner, and experience the Hidden Wonders of Warner, our brand-new interactive, hands-on education exhibits.

Help us build an apiary!
Warner is embarking on a new project to build an apiary and house more honey bees on site. These hives will be used to support the indoor observation hive, will be part of the educational programming, and will act as an enticement to local beekeepers to become involved in the Warner bee program. Find out more about this new educational program and find out how you can help out. Learn More
