Fish Creek Open Space Buckthorn Blast

8:30-12:30

Volunteers: 200 Supervisors: 20

Join us as we haul buckthorn out of the woods to restore woodland and forest at Maplewood’s Fish Creek Open Space. Visible from 494, Fish Creek Open Space is the heart of a Creek greenway that stretches from the Mississippi River in Saint Paul, through Maplewood, to Carver Park in Woodbury. Learn about the big plans for prairie, oak savanna, and forest at this 70 acre site that provides habitat for resident wildlife and migrating birds.

A project of our Metro Area Program. This project is made possible with support from Ramsey County Parks, the City of Maplewood, REI, the University of St. Thomas, and the Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Fund.
