GRG, an environmental organization based in St. Paul, is hosting a second public restoration volunteer event this month — a planting event at Lilydale Bluffs on Saturday, October 5 , 9am to noon. Volunteers and supervisors are needed for both events. This 100-person volunteer event is sponsored by the Saint Paul Area Association of REALTORS® Charitable Foundation. Volunteers will plant native seeds and plugs along a two-acre swath of land at Lilydale Bluffs in St. Paul. Significant erosion in the area has led to degrading bluffs and poor water quality in the nearby Mississippi River. The native plants will encourage habitat recovery and stabilize the bluff soils, a critical piece to improving the bluffs.
