Dakota County Parks invites you to come out and help us improve the health and quality of our park system through a morning of hands-on restoration and outdoor fun. We will add native plants to a garden bed at Whitetail Woods Regional Park to improve habitat and support pollinators. Participants will also have the opportunity to meet some of the hard-working goats who help manage invasive brush in our parks. All ages and abilities welcomed.
Dakota County Parks will provide Food, water, tools, training, etc. - everything you need!
Plan to bring your own Water bottle, favorite pair of work gloves and garden trowel (if you want, we will have ones to loan out), dress for the weather and a positive attitude.
