Join FMR Restoration Ecologist Karen Schik and National Park Service Ranger Tom Ibsen for a free interpretive tour of St. Paul’s Crosby Farm Regional Park. Participants will learn about a new three-acre prairie restoration project, including an interpretive prairie garden, where volunteers have been hard at work all season. The tour will then explore other exciting parts of this park, from the steep sandstone bluffs to the boardwalk and wetland, to the river and its adjacent floodplain forest. This variety of ecosystems provides important habitat for plenty of wildlife — bring your binoculars for a better look at fall migrating birds!
