Lop + Remove Sumac at Grey Cloud Dunes SNA
ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River
Please visit the new page to apply.
Volunteers are needed to join Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) at the Grey Cloud Dunes SNA on Thursday, June 30 from 6:00 to 8:00 p.m. to help remove sumac, a shrubby tree that would otherwise overtake this vital habitat.
Home to a rare dry prairie, this area provides essential native bee, butterfly and wildlife habitat, Grey Cloud Dunes SNA is one of those places you can hardly believe is in a metro area. The first rises 40 to 60 feet above river-level with remarkable crescents and blowouts sculpted by southwesterly winds. The second, 110 feet above the Mississippi, has a dramatic cut-face. Dunes on both terraces rise in waves, cresting 10 to 20 feet above the swales.
To ensure a high quality experience, capacity is limited and preregistration required. For more information, including how to register, please visit visit: http://fmr.org/events/2016/06/30/lop-and-remove-sumac-grey-cloud-dunes-sna
