SAINT PAUL MISSISSIPPI BLUFF




The city of Saint Paul, Friends of the Parks and Trails of Saint Paul and Ramsey County, and several hundred volunteers worked together to clear buckthorn and honeysuckle from a variety of bluffland habitats along East River Road in Saint Paul. The shade from these shrubs was preventing the natural regeneration of oaks and other desireable trees and shrubs and shading out native wildflowers.

Funded in part by the Minnesota Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund as recommended by the Legislative Commission on Minnesota Resources.
