Whiterock Conservancy in Coon Rapids is looking for volunteers to assist with restoration efforts with a brush management project this upcoming Saturday. Individuals will be working through a section of remnant prairie of invasive brush, to promote a healthy landscape for the conservancy from 9:30 a.m. to 12 p.m. Work may include cutting and piling brush, treating cut stumps and more. Volunteers are asked to wear close-toed shoes, long sleeved shirts and pants and to bring personal protective equipment (PPE) if able to. Whiterock staff will have basic PPE, such as gloves, eye and ear protection. If interested in helping while learning about various management tools and projects Whiterock has completed over the years, RSVP to Land Stewardship Director, Tyler Bruck, by calling 712-790-8221 Ext. 6 or email at tbruck@whiterockconservancy.org. A waiver will need to be signed for all volunteers upon arrival on Saturday at 9:30 a.m. at 1221 Fig Ave, in Coon Rapids. Pizza and refreshments will be provided at the conclusion of the event.
