Help us restore native habitat by planting trees and shrubs along the creek in the southeast corner of the park! As a part of our Operation Wild Lands program and the Missouri Department of Conservation's Back to Nature STL grant, Open Space STL is partnering with the City of Crestwood and Beautify Crestwood on a series of stewardship events at Crestwood Park. Plants are donated by Forest ReLeaf of Missouri through their Project CommuniTree program.
*Due to the steepness of creekbanks, this event is not recommended to young children or those with limited mobility.*
WHEN: 9:00am, Saturday, October 4th. Volunteer check-in will begin at 8:45 am.
WHERE: Crestwood Park, Meadowfern Dr, St. Louis, MO 63126. The meeting location will be the lower pavilion
