We need your help to restore native habitat on the Al Foster Memorial Trail! Volunteers will remove invasive bush honeysuckle in this conservation area along the Meramec Greenway in Wildwood, MO. Your assistance will help improve water quality, enhance wildlife habitat, and create a healthier environment for all. Corporate groups and school groups looking for volunteer projects are encouraged to contact us to be a part of our Thursday and Friday workdays! Contact us at 314-835-9225 or info@openspacestl.org.
Volunteers will meet at the Al Foster Trailhead. The trail is located near the intersection of Grand Ave. and Washington Ave. in the Glencoe Community. Parking is available at the trailhead.
We will provide necessary tools, gloves, snacks, and water for this event. Please wear sturdy shoes and dress for the weather. Youth ages 15 and up are welcome to join with the accompaniment of a parent or guardian.
This event is sponsored in part by The Open Space Council, Great Rivers Greenway, St. Louis County Parks, Missouri State Parks, and the City of Wildwood.

Mission Statement
Founded in 1965, Open Space STL works independently and collaboratively to conserve and sustain land, water, and other natural resources for the health and well-being of people throughout the St. Louis region.
Description
The Open Space Council is a 501(c)(3) tax-exempt nonprofit organization dedicated to conserving public and private open space lands in the St. Louis region. It identifies areas that can be acquired and set aside for public use, and attempts to discourage improper land use and detrimental development. Preserving and restoring plant and animal habitats, which encourages biodiversity, is an important outcome of the organization's work.
The Open Space Council strives to accomplish its mission in the following ways:
Informing the Public at Large
A community that is knowledgeable about its natural areas and threats posed to them is an invaluable ally in conservation efforts.
Advising Decision Makers
Crucial to achieving our purpose is making our concerns know to the political and other leaders entrusted with the fate of our public lands.
Advocating for Proper land Use
The council serves as an organization for open space, supporting, urging, favoring, and articulating important positions in an objective manner.
In the absence of government action, it is both necessary and effective to obtain private funding for the acquisition of lands for the public good.
