    Description

    Conservation: Help Restore Green Spaces

    In the spring, summer, and fall, help restore our local parks by removing non-native plant species (like garlic mustard and buckthorn), planting trees and native flowers/grasses, collecting native seed, engaging in citizen science, and cleaning our parks of trash and debris. The parks that we focus on include Rivoli Bluffs Farm and Restoration Site, Trout Brook Nature Sanctuary, and Pig’s Eye Regional Park.

    There are a variety of shifts available. Please visit UrbanRootsMN.org/volunteer to see dates and times and to sign up. No need to click the "I Want to Help" button on the VolunteerMatch website.
