(CANCELLED) Pollinator Planting at Chanhassen Nature Preserve

Saturday, May 30th, 2020 from 8:30am to 12:00pm (CT)

About

All Great River Greening events are cancelled due to COVID-19. Please reach out to gmastellone@greatrivergreening.org with any questions.

Join volunteers in planting and seeding a variety of pollinator-friendly species at Chanhassen Nature Preserve. The preserve includes miles of trails and oak woodland surrounding a beautiful lake. This fun, family-friendly event supports our Pollinator Seed Initiative and will ultimately create hundreds of acres of nesting and breeding habitat for bees, butterflies, and other critters. Your volunteer efforts will sustain pollinators for years to come.

All are welcome, any necessary training will be provided.

Once you have registered through GivePulse, organizers from Great River Greening will approve your registration and you will receive confirmation. You will continue to receive event reminders as the event nears. If you have further questions, please contact volunteer@greatrivergreening.org

If you are a minor registering yourself, you will need to provide an email address in the "Linked Survey" box so we can send the Youth Liability Waiver to your parent or guardian. If you are an adult bringing a minor, you can add them as an attendee and simply check the "Youth Waiver" box upon registering. If you are an adult registering yourself and another adult, you will need to enter their unique email address to the Attendee registration, so they can confirm their registration and sign a waiver.

If you'd like to register as a group (Scout Troop, employees of a company, a school group, gardening club, etc), please contact volunteer@greatrivergreening.org.

DAY OF: 
When you arrive at the site, go directly to the registration table and check-in. Restoration volunteers need to arrive by 8:30am to have enough time to complete the registration process.

SAFETY:
Ensuring the safety of our volunteers is our highest priority. It is important that event participants wear close-toed shoes and long sleeves to protect against ticks and scratchy brush. We recommend dressing for the weather, layers are key. Water will be available on-site for refills, but to reduce waste we hope you will bring your own reusable container.
