Plants of the Morris Wetland Management District, Minnesota

Note: this should be considered a working list of the plant species in the Morris Wetland Management District. It was compiled using plant species lists from Big Stone National Wildlife Refuge and the Fergus Falls Wetland Management District, along with the list of species that have been collected in the Morris District. An updated and accurate plant species list will be created in coming years as the District’s Biological Inventory and Monitoring Program gets underway.
