What a load of buckthorn! Yay, Gabriel!

On our typical Buckthorn events we meet at the free lower parking lot of Wabun Picnic Area (weather permitting) to head down the trailhead to the park.

Just follow the signs downhill towards the Veterans Home from 46th St E and Godfrey Parkway near the Ford Parkway Bridge. Then when you get to a fork and a stone marker that says “Wabun Picnic Area” take the right fork towards the lower level picnic area parking lot. We head down to Minnehaha Park on the trail across from the brown Park Board Operations building.

Wear sturdy shoes and long pants and bring a water bottle. to stay hydrated. We are well supplied with tools, thanks to a People for Park Fund grant from Minneapolis Parks Foundation . We provide training, tools and work gloves. Link to a google map directions to the meet up location. https://goo.gl/maps/C9u6SRAG5DUaQBTP7

Early Spring Ephemeral Walk and BioBlitz

Come out and volunteer at a spring ephemerals BioBlitz event at Minnehaha Regional Park. We’re partnering withe the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board to engage in Citizen Science to observe and document species in the park using the iNaturalist app. The results can be viewed as a project by anyone using the app, and it can also be used as a baseline of species biodiversity. This is a family friendly event, and pre-registration is required through the Minneapolis Parks. For more information and to register, open the Event link.
