Public Programming

Saturday, March 29th; 9:30 AM - 1:30 PM

Great blue herons start returning to their rookery on the Mississippi River toward the end of March. Join a Park Ranger at Marshall Terrace Park in Minneapolis as we watch them rebuild nests and do a little flirting. If we are lucky, we might see the resident peregrine falcons fly over, or see migrating ducks like buffleheads and goldeneyes.

There are two types of volunteer roles. We are searching for general program assistants to guide parking, greet participants, maintain the fire, and direct people around the park. Additionally, we are recruiting knowledgeable birders to answer questions and assist with scopes and binoculars.
