East Side River District Bioremediation Webinar

Join us online to meet scientists from the University of Minnesota, who will be using Pig’s Eye Regional Park as a laboratory for habitat restoration and cutting-edge uses of biochar to address pollution. In this webinar, participants will learn about baseline monitoring results of the site’s ecology and contamination and get a sneak peek of experiments that will begin next spring.
