Be a part of the effort to restore a metro area gem! Katherine Abbott Park is a 76-acre scenic natural area of hardwood forest, prairie, and wetlands. The park is inundated by buckthorn, a non-native invasive shrub that threatens new tree growth and crowds out native shrubs, flowers, and grasses. By hauling out buckthorn, we can improve habitat and the overall quality of this great park. Volunteers: 150 This project is made possible with support from the City of Mahtomedi and the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund. About Great River Greening: Since 1995, Great River Greening has worked to secure the legacy of Minnesota land and water through community-based restoration, stewardship and partnerships. We have ecological expertise in natural resource and water quality management, and in community building. We work in collaboration at a grassroots level so partners, landowners and volunteers feel connected to an area, understand the power of working together, and are protective of the legacy that we pass on to future generations.
