Join the Mississippi River Gorge Stewards volunteers to help remove buckthorn — the invasive woody species that degrades our local native plant communities and wildlife habitat — in the maple basswood forest in the Longfellow neighborhood of south Minneapolis.

Volunteers will work closely with FMR staff and will be provided with tools and gloves. Be prepared to work on steep slopes and uneven terrain. Due to the tools and terrain, this event is not be suitable for small children.

This event is part of the Gorge Stewards program, which actively engages citizens throughout the Twin Cities in the stewardship of the national treasure that is the Mississippi River Gorge.
