Summer work night at Ole Olson Park in North Minneapolis

Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Friends of the Mississippi River

Ole Olson Park in north Minneapolis is known for its top-notch walking and biking trails and stunning skyline views, but we want it to be recognized for even more. Join Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) on August 28, from 6-8pm as we return to this riverfront park to tend an important native demonstration prairie garden along the bike trail. This summer work night will help further our long-term transformation and commitment at this site and to the river. Although a small urban site, Ole Olson is a surprisingly diverse landscape, including riverfront shoreline, woodland terrace, and grassland slopes. We look forward to transforming the park into an oasis of habitat and respite - returning willows to the shoreline, wildflowers to the slopes and majestic oaks to the terraces - and keeping it that way.

As always, all are welcome, however, capacity is limited and registration required. To learn more and register, visit https://fmr.org/events/2018/08/28/summer-work-night-ole-olson-park
