    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.
