Invasive shrub removal at Frontenac State Park

Join Great River Greening at Frontenac State Park. Volunteers will support early-stage restoration work on a recently acquired new addition to the park. This event will feature lopping and hauling of invasive shrubs to set the stage for continued restoration work and potential trail development. Activities will include lopping buckthorn or other invasive shrubs, hauling woody material and stacking the biomass for future process.  

Volunteers can expect to walk ½ - ¾ mile to the worksite on a grassy trail with a moderate hill. The work site area will include moderate hills in certain areas.   

This is a family-friendly event. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to attend. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary, we will provide the tools and training required. 

There will also be light snacks and extra water available, however, please bring your own reusable water bottle and any additional snacks you may need. 

Once you have registered via GivePulse, organizers from Great River Greening will approve your registration and you will receive confirmation. You will continue to receive event reminders as the event nears.
