Join us! Riverside Park and Oak Savanna tours

History, ecology, wildlife, community pride — these upcoming FMR tours showcase what can happen when these values come together. Join us September 18th in the rare urban oak savanna or September 22nd in Minneapoliss first public park, Riverside Park. Both events will bring the history of the riverfront (or riverbluff) site to life, include lessons in urban ecology, and celebrate the community based and FMR-organized volunteer restoration efforts.

Both events are free but capacity is limited and preregistration required. Please see the FMR calendar for more information and to save your spot.
