Join Friends of the Mississippi River (FMR) on Thursday, July 23, from 6-8 pm to help protect Pine Bend Bluffs Scientific & Natural Area (SNA), an award-winning restoration site known for some of the best views of the Upper Mississippi River.
We will remove invasive species, like knapweed, currently encroaching on the native prairie. Minnesota's native bees and local wildlife depend on this rare habitat and the native plants that grow there. With their deeper root systems, the native prairie plants also provide erosion control and filter pollution that would otherwise run down the bluffs into the Mississippi River below.
As always, all tools and training will be provided and volunteers are encouraged to work at their own pace and comfort level. Volunteers should be aware the Pine Bend Bluffs SNA site contains steep and sometimes difficult-to-navigate terrain. All are welcome, however, registration is required. Due to COVID-19, masks and social distancing are required.
