Welcome to the first Invasive Plant Removal Event of the season with Friends of the Mississippi River and Mississippi Watershed Management Organization!

We have started a long term partnership to help maintain the river banks along the Mississippi at Sheridan Memorial Park. We will be learning about invasive species, how to identify them, how to remove them effectively and eventually planting native species to revitalize the landscape. We will meet at the Sheridan Veterans Memorial at 6 pm, where the FMR will educate us on the project and then we will start the invasive plant removal, We will provide the gloves, water, bags, snacks and tools. Please be sure to sign up! The river is one of Sheridan’s greatest assets and something that we as a community can work together to preserve.
