2026.09.26 National Public Lands Day Native Plant Planting at Hazelnut Park | Arden Hills

Saturday, September 26th, 2026 from 9:00am to 12:00pm (CT)

About

Join Great River Greening in restoring native habitat at Hazelnut Park, a well-loved community park. Volunteers will help enhance the urban forest understory by planting native shrubs and wildflowers in areas where invasive buckthorn has been removed. These efforts will increase plant diversity, improve wildlife habitat, and support the long-term health and resilience of the park.
After the volunteer work time, join us from 11:45-1pm in the picnic shelter for snacks, drinks and tables and activities with conservation partners in the area, including Huellas Latinas, the Xerces Society and more!
As a special treat, anyone who registers from now until September 4 can get a free t-shirt courtesy of MN Master Naturalist (see design)!  Please sign up on the master naturalist website (in addition to signing up with GRG now).  

Please note registrants will receive updates on any changes and final event details as the date approaches.

This event is open to all, and any necessary training will be provided.
