City of Farmington’s Pond & Park Cleanup Day @ In a neighborhood near you
Apr 29 @ 9:00 am – 11:00 am
Ponds, parks, and the natural areas around them collect much of the debris from the windy winter weather.  Pond & Park Cleanup Day was initiated to protect the natural habitat and enhance the aesthetics of Farmington ponds and parks by cleaning up the garbage that has accumulated over the winter. Individuals and groups are invited to do some spring cleaning in a city owned pond or park. The city will provide volunteers with supplies and dispose of the garbage. Register to volunteer by April 20. During the 2016 Pond & Park Cleanup Day, over 400 people volunteered and collected 1.15 tons of garbage from 12 parks and 67 ponds.  Let’s keep this momentum going!

Plant native shrubs along the Vermillion River @ Vermillion River Wilmar Property
Apr 29 @ 9:30 am – 11:30 am
Spend a morning with Friends of the Mississippi staff and volunteers at the Wilmar property along the Vermillion River, a cold prairie stream in the heart of Dakota County and a major tributary of the Mississippi River. After a brief hike volunteers will install native shrubs and fencing near the river banks to increase habitat diversity and help stabilize the stream bank. FMR has been working to restore some 25-acres at this private easement. All supplies and training will be provided and volunteers will work closely with FMR staff. This event is part of the Vermillion Stewards program, helping residents learn about the watershed while working to protect and enhance its unique natural resources. Ready to register? To sign up and receive directions to the meeting spot, contact FMR Volunteer Coordinator Amy Kilgore via the contact form (please select Amy by name from the staff list under “Category”) or at akilgore@fmr.org, 651-222-2193 x31.
