Join the first Mississippi River Gorge Stewards volunteer event at Riverside Park, a significant riverfront, community park in Minneapolis's Cedar-Riverside neighborhood (and part of Seward, as well).

Working alongside ecologist Carolyn Carr, who developed this park's restoration plan, and FMR River Stewardship Coordinator Karen Solas, volunteers will hand-pull and/or use small tools (such as pliers) to remove garlic mustard and small buckthorn seedlings. Removing these invasive species will help prepare the site for the next volunteer event in the fall: planting native species essential for wildlife habitat and watershed health. (Event participants will be the first to be invited to return to the site.)
