Frontenac State Park Volunteer Restoration

Thanks for joining us on Frontenac State Park. Located along the Mississippi River, Frontenac is a birdwatcher’s paradise and one of the best places in the country to witness spring and fall migrations. With more than 260 species recorded, Lake Pepin’s diverse habitats, bluff lands, prairie, floodplain forest, and hardwood forest, attract a wide variety of birdlife.

Volunteers will support early restoration efforts on a newly acquired park addition and assist with an expanding prairie demonstration garden near the park office.

Activities will include removing invasive species using loppers and foldable hand saws. Participants will also learn about native plants, prairie restoration, and invasive species management.

Please note registrants will receive updates on any changes and final event details as the date approaches.

This event is open to all, and any necessary training will be provided.

Day of: Please arrive promptly, allowing time for parking and a short walk.

There will be light snacks and extra water available during the event. Please bring your own reusable water bottle. In addition, bring your work/gardening gloves if you have them, if not they will be provided.

Safety: Ensuring safety is our highest priority. It is important that event participants wear close-toed shoes and long sleeves to protect against the elements. We recommend dressing for the weather; layers are key.
