Come help out at Pine Bend Bluffs SNA, where stunning views from 200 foot bluffs overlook the Mississippi! Join us in cutting and treating buckthorn. Buckthorn crowds out native plants and displaces native shrubs and small trees in the mid-layer of the forest where many species of birds nest.
Tools, instructions, and good camaraderie will be provided. Bring water, snacks, and dress for working in the weather. Footwear appropriate for outdoor work/hiking is recommended. If you have your own gloves you'd like to use, please bring those as well. There are no public restrooms nor access to drinking water on this site.
Prior to the event, please watch the Buckthorn Blaster Training Video and take the Buckthorn Blaster Volunteer Quiz. This will allow you to use buckthorn blasters to treat cut stumps. Please email sna.dnr@state.mn.us once you've completed the training and to register for the day. Registration in-advance is required.
Directions
In Inver Grove Heights from US Hwy 52, exit at 117th St, then 0.8 mile N on Courthouse Blvd (frontage road), then 0.2 mi E on 111th St. Park in lot on S.
