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. It will comfortable, 77 degree decreasing to 75. There may be a little rain at 6:00PM, but probably not lasting long, so we may just wait until it dies down.

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
