October 15, 2011, Saturday - Riverside Park Habitat Restoration

Time: 9:30am-11:30am

Location: Riverside Park, Mississippi River Gorge

Join the Mississippi River Gorge Stewards at Riverside Park, a significant riverfront, community park in Minneapolis's Cedar-Riverside and Seward neighborhoods.

Working alongside ecologist Carolyn Carr, who developed this park's restoration plan, and Friends of the Mississippi River River Stewardship Coordinator Karen Solas, volunteers will help improve local wildlife habitat and watershed health, removing invasive species (such as buckthorn) and possibly assisting with watering and other restoration tasks.

The range of activities will be suitable for adults and for youth, and everyone is encouraged to work at their own pace and ability level. All supplies are provided, and capacity is limited. To sign up, please contact FMR Outreach and Volunteer Coordinator Sue Rich at srich@fmr.org or 651-222-2193 x14.
