2026.10.24 Mississippi River Overlook Park Seeding | Baxter

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.

Day of: Please arrive promptly. A 15–20 minute walk along a mowed, sandy trail will bring us to the restoration site. The trail is mostly flat, with a few gentle slopes. The work area itself is flat, though participants should be mindful of natural features such as uneven ground, tree stumps, and native vegetation.

There will be light snacks and extra water available during the event. Please bring your own reusable water bottle. In addition, bring your work/gardening gloves if you have them, if not they will be provided.

Safety: Ensuring safety is our highest priority. It is important that event participants wear close-toed shoes and long sleeves to protect against the elements. We recommend dressing for the weather; layers are key.

Note: By registering online, you will complete the release of liability and photo release waiver. Please let us know at the event if you wish to be excluded from event photography.
