Nicollet Island restoration kickoff information session

After over a year of planning, Friends of the Mississippi River is beginning habitat restoration on Nicollet Island. In partnership with the Mississippi Watershed Management Organization and the Minneapolis Parks and Recreation Board, FMR will lead a multi-year restoration of the natural areas on the north half of the island. This will include removal of invasive species, enhancement of degraded forest areas, and the creation of new, diverse habitat, including two acres of native prairie and the re-creation of a pocket of maple forest historically present on the island.

FMR will be hosting a kickoff informational session at DaLaSalle High School from 6:30-7:30 p.m. on June 25th, where attendees can learn more about the project timeline, what to expect during the restoration process, and how they can get involved. All are welcome!
