Staff will meet volunteers at Wild Meadows Trace (496 Spring Road, at the corner of Spring Road and Prairie Path Lane). Meet staff in front of the Keith A. Olson Prairie sign on the west side of Spring Road adjacent to the municipal parking lot and Phase 3 Brewing Company.

Volunteer days are held on the 3rd Saturday of the month from 9am-Noon in February, March, April, September, October, and November. Contact the Horticulture Supervisor with questions or sign-up for specific days below.
