• Birch Island Woods Conservation Area (eplocalnews.org) — Residents can join Friends of Eden Prairie Parks to remove invasive buckthorn at Birch Island Woods Conservation Area on multiple Saturday mornings this fall, starting Sept. 19. Volunteers meet near Harlan Drive and Birch Island Road, get brief training, and can bring their own cutting tools or borrow some on-site, making it easy to pitch in and protect local woodlands.
