The Elsie Welter Natural History Museum is located on the first floor of the Integrated Science Center (ISC) at Concordia College in Moorhead, MN. The museum was named after influential area bird-watcher, world traveller, and Concordia adjunct biology professor Elsie M. Welter. The collections housed at the museum contain specimens in the areas of ornithology, mammalogy, entomology, botany, and malacology. The museum is open for students and researchers at Concordia College, with public outreach programs underway.

The Minneapolis-St. Paul Metropolitan Area (MSP) Long Term Ecological Research program brings together dozens of researchers from the University of Minnesota, University of St. Thomas, USDA Forest Service, The Nature Conservancy, and Water Bar, to study how urban stressors affect the ecological structure and functioning of urban nature, including for pollinators, the urban forest, urban watersheds, and lakes and streams. Researchers also are exploring how disparities in who benefits most from urban nature have arisen and might be overcome. Researchers are studying diverse environmental policies and practices across numerous MSP municipalities to understand which ones best improve environmental outcomes for all residents. MSP researchers will engage with historically underserved BIPOC community partners in inclusive research that de-centers whiteness, and determine how such engagement changes researchers, community partners, and long-term urban nature research outcomes. Middle school learners will engage with MSP to learn state standards in Earth and life science through field trips to the Bell Museum and through urban nature-based learning activities in their own communities.
