Prairie Restoration at Ordway Field Station
ORGANIZATION: Mississippi National River and Recreation Area, National Park Service
Please visit the new page to apply.
Join us in the beautiful prairie at Ordway for an afternoon of service and fun. We need help clearing trees out of the prairie to make way for a rich diversity of grasses and flowers! Fingers crossed for snow! Work will involve walking over uneven terrain for up to 20 minutes at a time, wearing gloves, and cutting plants with hand pruners or loppers. The afternoon will include an optional hike out to the river to explore more of this very special place that is only accessible for researchers, students, and volunteers like you!
This event would be great for adults and kids over 12 years old. No experience needed. This is a free opportunity for volunteers - your only ticket is your service to the river! Space is limited and registration is required.
