MARYLAND Hts., Mo.—The Missouri Department of Conservation (MDC) and its partners in the Community Stewardship Alliance invite volunteers to fight invasive bush honeysuckle and help restore St. Louis County’s Creve Coeur Lake Memorial Park back to nature at a special volunteer workday Saturday, Nov. 20. Participants will remove honeysuckle between the Soccer Park and Creve Coeur Lake. These efforts will help desirable native plants flourish by eliminating these competing invasives.
Check-in will begin at 8:45 a.m. and the event will go until noon. Participants should come dressed for the weather and bring their own filled water bottle to the event. Volunteers should park and meet at the Soccer Field parking lot, 2350 Creve Coeur Mill Road in Maryland Heights. Restrooms will be accessible at the Soccer Park.
The event requires preregistration online at https://short.mdc.mo.gov/ZFR. In case of inclement weather, the event will be rescheduled for Saturday, Dec. 4th.
