If you’re not planning on attending the State Fair on Saturday, it will be a pleasant 69 degrees at 1:00pm on Saturday, and it always feels a little cooler in the woods by the creek. Join us! Buckthorn Removal at Minnehaha Park is on for today, 1:00-3:00pm. Regular Buckthorn Removal Events typically meet every Wednesday from 6:00PM-8:00PM and Saturday from 1:00-3:00PM at the free lower parking lot of Wabun Picnic Area (weather permitting) to head down the trailhead to the park. GPS is confusing. 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 layers, and bring a water bottle. We supply tools, training and work gloves. Link to a google map directions to the meet up location. https://goo.gl/maps/C9u6SRAG5DUaQBTP7
