Help the Community Stewardship Alliance enhance Gravois Creek Conservation Area by hacking some invasive bush honeysuckle! Bush honeysuckle prevents development of native tree, shrub, and ground layer species, displacing native species by out-competing and shading the forest floor and depleting the soil of moisture and nutrients. Join passionate, like-minded volunteers in the removal of this invasive species at Gravois Creek Conservation Area!

Come hack some honeysuckle! Volunteers do not need any conservation experience and are encouraged to come and learn. Volunteers will be provided with all necessary tools and supplies. Gravois Creek Conservation Area is a 13.7 acre natural area is owned and maintained by the Missouri Department of Conservation and is the newest Community Stewardship Alliance site, with volunteer ambassadors leading restoration efforts. This is an ongoing effort, so check back again for future opportunities!

Join the Community Stewardship Alliance to stake willows along the Meramec riverbank at Lower Meramec Park to help with riverbank stabilization. No previous conservation experience is needed and volunteers are encouraged to come and learn.

Why willow staking?

Volunteers will stake willows as part of an ongoing project to help stabilize the riverbank. The willow trees will create a natural root system that will help to keep the soil from eroding further. This natural plant solution to erosion can help restore habitat for wildlife and keep the erosion from reaching the Meramec Greenway Trail so park users can continue to use and enjoy the trail.

This is part of an ongoing conservation effort at Lower Meramec Park, so check for future opportunities! Volunteers should register at https://volunteer.openspacestl.org/need/detail/?need_id=858441.
