St. LOUIS, Mo.—The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and its partners in the Community Stewardship Alliance invite volunteers to help restore St. Louis County’s Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park back to nature at a special volunteer workday Monday, Sept. 27. Participants will take steps to help pollinators thrive in the park.
Check-in will begin at 8:45 a.m. and the event will go until noon. Volunteers will assist in cleaning up and prepping the native demonstration gardens, including weeding, and tamping down the pathway chat. These measures will help improve habitat for pollinators and beautify the park for people. Participants should park and meet at the Lake House Bar and Grill, 2160 Creve Coeur Mill Road.
Volunteers should come dressed for the weather and bring their own water to the event. Work gloves and tools will be provided. Restrooms will be available at Lake House Bar and Grill and nearby Forest ReLeaf.
The event requires preregistration online at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/ZyA. In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled for Tuesday, September 28
As this is an in-person activity, MDC asks all participants to observe current local COVID-19 social distancing and masking guidelines. Bringing and wearing face coverings is encouraged when appropriate.
