Warner Nature Center

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.

Upcoming Events

Fall Color Blast
Sunday, October 6, 1-5 p.m.

Celebrate the fall colors of Warner by hiking our trails, paddling our lakes, and enjoying some tasty treats! This year hitch a ride on a horse-drawn wagon to see our new lakeside teaching pavilion, visit our new bee yard/apiary with open hive demonstrations, and attend a live bird banding demonstration. Suggested donation of $10 per vehicle.

Parking fills quickly – once our parking spaces are full, we will provide a shuttle from May Town Hall south of the nature center at no charge. Check at the gate first!

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
