Prairie seed collection is crucial to prairie habitat restoration. Read the Star Tribune's coverage on how small seeds, like those of the prairie violet, can have a big impact on Minnesota's prairies.
To keep deer herds in balance with available habitat, we are conducting scheduled deer hunts in some of our parks. This will necessitate the closing or partial closing of some parks where the hunts are taking place.
Archery deer hunts will take place in a number of parks throughout Three Rivers. These parks will remain open and will allow access to paved and turf trails, dog areas, horse trails, golf courses and picnic areas during the hunt period.
Seating allows for a space to socialize or rest in the natural world. Your donation of an Adirondack chair will be a valuable park amenity that supports community in nature.
