Remove invasive species at Grey Cloud Dunes SNA
ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River
Please visit the new page to apply.
Grey Cloud Dunes SNA is one of those places you can hardly believe is in a metro area. Located in Cottage Grove, this highly protected Scientific and Natural Area (SNA) features two sandy terraces along the river.
Join Friends of the Mississippi (FMR) at this special park on May 24, from 6-8pm. After a brief training and introduction, volunteers will work to remove Narrowleaf Bittercress, an invasive species spreading at an alarming rate along the floodplain forest of the Mississippi River.
Volunteers should also note that this park does not feature amenities like trails or restrooms, and getting to our designated work site for this event is a bit of a trek.
All are welcome, however, capacity is limited and registration is required. To learn more and register, visit http://fmr.org/events/2018/05/24/remove-invasive-species-grey-cloud-dunes-sna.
