Plant native species and tend the demonstration prairie at Ole Olson Park

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River

Join Friends of the Mississippi River on Wednesday, August 30th from 6-8 PM, as we head back to Ole Olson Park along the riverfront for a summer evening of planting and tending the native demonstration prairie garden.

Located just off the bike trail the demonstration prairie is home to showy flowers and grasses will not only beautify the park but provide much-needed bee, butterfly and bird habitat.

This event is part of FMR's Above the Falls stewardship program - providing opportunities for education, access and hands-on restoration along the banks of the Mississippi River north of St. Anthony Falls. We are excited to continue to grow this program and engage citizens in the restoration process.

To ensure a high-quality experience, capacity is limited and pre registration required. Registration closes Tuesday, August 29th, or upon reaching capacity.
