Invasive Species Removal in Edenvale Park and Conservation Area

LOCATION: 7200 Edenvale Blvd (hockey rink)

Having trouble seeing Purgatory Creek through all the buckthorn while walking through the Edenvale Conservation Area? Help improve the beauty and the biodiversity of Edenvale by volunteering to cut and pull buckthorn in the Edenvle Conservation Area.

Meet at the north end of the hockey rink at 7200 Edenvale Blvd.

A limited number of handsaws, pruners, loppers and pullers will be available, so bring your own tools if you’d like. The city of Eden Prairie will supply herbicide daubers and gloves (you may bring your own gloves if you’d like).

Training on how to identify, cut and treat with herbicide, and pull (no herbicide required) buckthorn will be provided at the event.

All participants must sign a volunteer waiver form. Kids (12+) may participate with a parent/guardian signature on their volunteer waiver form. Only adults (18+) can use herbicide daubers.

Please RSVP to the event leader below, so we know you are coming!
