Join us! Buckthorn Removal at Minnehaha Park is on for today, 1:00-3:00pm. You’ll be helping to protect native plants and restore the natural environment and views at the park. It’s a good way to connect with great people who love their community and the park, and to make a difference, and it always feels a little cooler in the woods by the creek.

Regular Buckthorn Removal Events meet every 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. 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 sleeves and bring a water bottle. to stay hydrated. We supply tools, training and work gloves. Link to a google map directions to the meet up location. https://goo.gl/maps/C9u6SRAG5DUaQBTP7
