Volunteers are needed for our Spring Greenway Cutback Event on Saturday March 1st from 9am to 11am!

Great Rivers Greenway staff and volunteers will be working at three different greenway sites to cut back native perennials and grasses in preparation for new growth in the spring. Our work in March will be rewarded later this year as we watch the native plants and grasses flourish when the weather warms up!

Sites:

  • Mysun Trailhead (Gravois Greenway)
  • Trojan Park (St. Vincent Greenway)
  • Katherine Ward Burg Garden (Mississippi Greenway)

No experience necessary; Great Rivers Greenway staff will teach volunteers how to cut back the perennials and grasses.

What to wear: Please dress for the weather and bundle up. Long sleeve shirts, pants and closed toe shoes are required. Eye protection and gloves will be provided.

What to bring: All tools will be provided, but please feel free to bring your own loppers, garden shears or pruners if you have them. Please bring a water bottle to help us reduce plastic waste. Light snacks and water will be provided.

Note: This event is limited to ages 13 and older.

About Great Rivers Greenway

Mission Statement

Connecting the St. Louis region with greenways so people can explore their rivers, parks and communities, making it a vibrant place to live, work, and play.

Description

Great Rivers Greenway is a regional public agency, created by a vote of the people in the year 2000 to leave a legacy for future generations. That vote created a sales tax that funds our organization to build, bring to life and care for the network of greenways. In 2013, the region dedicated additional funds to parks and greenways, and we became the stewards of the local investment in the CityArchRiver Project, the transformation of the area surrounding the Gateway Arch.

Residents of the St. Louis region voted for and invested in a clear, bold vision - a dynamic network of parks and open spaces linked together by greenways, connecting our communities so people can live life outside. The network of greenways strengthens the social, economic and environmental well-being of our region. Community members proudly invest in, care for and champion greenways for years to come.
