Attention all outdoor enthusiasts and green thumbs—it’s your time to shine. Three Rivers/Scott County Parks is calling on volunteers to step into nature and get their hands dirty for a good cause. On Tuesday, August 27, Murphy-Hanrehan Park Reserve in Savage will be the hub for native wildflower seed collection from 10:30 AM to 1:30 PM. The collected seeds will serve a greater purpose, contributing to the restoration efforts of nearly 2,000 acres of thriving prairie land within Three Rivers Parks, as detailed by Scott County Minnesota.
Anyone over the age of 16 can dive right into the activity, but younger nature warriors aren’t excluded—they just need to be accompanied by an adult who's got their back. Plus, there's no price tag attached to this eco-friendly endeavor, as per Scott County Minnesota. That's right, it's free, though you do need to make a quick call to register at 763-559-6700.
More details are available on the event webpage for those looking to lace up their hiking boots and make a tangible difference in local conservation.
