Lop and remove sumac at Grey Cloud Dunes SNA
ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River
Please visit the new page to apply.
Located in Cottage Grove, this highly protected Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) features two sandy terraces along the river. Grey Cloud Dunes SNA is a sight to see. Help Friends of the Mississippi River further our restoration efforts at this special site! On Tuesday, June 27th from 6:00 to 8:00, volunteers will participate in a brief orientation, then will work with FMR ecologists to help remove sumac, a shrubby tree that would otherwise overtake this vital habitat. Other tending or restoration tasks may also be needed.
Due to tool usage, including loppers and saws, this event is not suitable for youth.
Registration is required. To learn more, including how to register, visit http://fmr.org/events/2017/06/27/lop-and-remove-sumac-grey-cloud-dunes-sna. Registration closes end of day Monday, June 26th.
