Welcome >>

Thank you to everyone who helped make the Fall Volunteer Rendezvous a success.

Twenty-one volunteers and five National Park Service staff worked together to restore native vegetation at disturbed sites along the scenic shorelines of Namakan Lake. The group planted 350 native trees, dug up 700 pounds of non-native plants, and potted 200 additional native trees for future transplanting in the Park. Twenty-five volunteers from a Boy Scout troop contributed their time to monitor the Park’s trails, in order to identify maintenance needs for Park Service staff. In total, 46 volunteers helped out at the Fall Volunteer Rendezvous.

If you missed the Fall Volunteer Rendezvous but would like to join us in spring 2009, please contact us at (612) 333-5424 or vnpa@voyageurs.org.
Wishing you a lovely fall,

Cory MacNulty
