East Bank Mississippi River Care: Wild Sanctuary at Owamni, Father Hennepin Bluffs Park Lower Trail
Saturday, June 4, 9 am - 12 pm.
Join the Marcy-Holmes Neighborhood Association to care for the wild, natural sanctuary on the East Bank of the Mississippi River where bald eagles and great blue herons hunt and the Mississippi once tumbled over massive limestone to create Owamni, later named St. Anthony Falls.
Participants will restore and care for native habitat, planting native wildflowers and grasses and remove invasive perennials and woody vegetation. For more information, a list of all 2022 dates, and to register, go to https://www.marcy-holmes.org/father_hennepin_stewards.
Volunteers will meet at the Lower Trail, near the corner of Main Street SE and Third Avenue SE, across from Pillsbury A Mill.
