Volunteer with Mississippi National River and Recreation Area and Mississippi Park Connection (MPC) in the heart of the Minneapolis riverfront.
Looking for a great way to get to know a unique part of your local national park? Ongoing volunteer habitat restoration crews meet on Saturdays throughout the summer and do light habitat restoration. Crews are drop in and there is no minimum or maximum number of times to volunteer. The crews help with ongoing restoration of Mill Ruins, which is near downtown Minneapolis, along the Mississippi. They are run by super crew leader volunteers. Activities include invasive species removal, site exploration, and other outdoor restoration tasks. If you like to be outdoors in the heart of the city, this opportunity is for you!
Volunteers must bring their own water bottle, wear sturdy, closed-toe shoes and long pants. Sunscreen and a hat are also recommended as the site is located in full sun. Bathroom facilities are available nearby.
Sign up directly on the MPC and NPS volunteer calendar.
