Hampton Woods is the largest continuous oak forest in Dakota County, providing critical habitat for forest-dwelling animals, especially birds. Come be part of the first volunteer event at this impressive site on May 1st, from 6-8pm.

Volunteers are needed to assist with hand-pulling invasive species from the forest floor. We will focus our efforts on removing the extremely invasive plant garlic mustard. Friends of the Mississippi River staff will provide identification and removal guidance – no previous experience is necessary.

As always, all are welcome. However, space is limited and registration is required. To learn more, including how to register for this event, visit https://fmr.org/events/2018/05/01/take-part-first-invasive-species-removal-hampton-woods.
