Join us in caring for the 6th Avenue Greenway

 

The 6th Avenue Greenway connects the Stone Arch Bridge and Mississippi Riverfront with the Marcy-Holmes neighborhood and destinations like Café Alma. With its native wildflowers and grasses and bronze sculptures of historic, local features, this vital greenway models how wildlife-friendly plantings help us care for our Mississippi River and how nature, history and art together give our community distinct character. This project provides a lively opportunity for neighbors to get to know each other and brighten a prominent entry for people walking and cycling the Stone Arch Bike Boulevard and Mississippi River Trail.

Want to help ensure the longevity of this scenic avenue? Sign up to be a 6th Avenue Greenway Steward on August 29! 

Join us on August 29 at 6:00pm to care for native flowers and grasses in the Sixth Avenue Greenway, our Mississippi River connection and bike boulevard. Between Alma on University and Second Street SE (West side by the parking lot between WD Forbes and the apartment building).

Rain or shine - we provide gloves and tools - just wear weather appropriate, comfortable clothes for digging and watering, and water to stay hydrated!
