Rescuing Over 1,000 Rare Plants in Anoka County!

Thanks to the Volunteers, Conservation Corps, and Three Rivers Park District staff for joining the ASP Rare Plant Rescue team to rescue state threatened Viola lanceolata, state Endangered Carex pallascens, and state Threatened Trichophorum clintonii from an area that will be dug up and developed soon. Those plants will temporarily grow at the MN Landscape Arboretum during the hot summer. In the fall, we will plant them into ecologically appropriate habitats on protected lands where they will be monitored.

Stay tuned for a volunteer planting event in the fall. Sign up to be added to the Volunteer List. Learn more about the ASP Rare Plant Rescue.
