Planting and more with Great River Greening at Frontenac State Park

Calendar Happens On May 31, 2025
Time 9:00 am to 12:00 am
Expired

Description

Thanks for help Great River Greening to support early-stage restoration work on a recently acquired new addition to Frontenac State Park. Located on the Mississippi River, Frontenac is a birdwatcher's paradise. It's one of the best spots in the country to view birds migrating in the spring and fall. More than 260 species of birds have been recorded here. No wonder: Lake Pepin's diverse habitats -- bluffland, prairie, floodplain forest and upland hardwood forest -- attract numerous warblers, hawks, waterfowl and shorebirds. 

Volunteers will learn about native plants, prairie restoration, and invasive species removal. 

This is a family-friendly event. Volunteers of all ages and backgrounds are encouraged to attend. No previous knowledge or experience is necessary, we will provide the tools and training required.  

There will be light snacks and extra water available during the event. Please bring your own reusable water bottle. In addition, bring your work/gardening gloves if you have them, if not they will be provided.
