Woodland Rescue Volunteer Project
Laumeier Sculpture Park
We need your time and energy for Laumeier’s honeysuckle removal campaign.  St. Louis County Parks, The Missouri Department of Conservation, the U.S. Forest Service and The Nature Conservancy agree: non-native bush honeysuckle displaces native shrubs, limits tree regeneration, depletes the soil of moisture and nutrients and releases toxins detrimental to our native Missouri plants. Your work will contribute directly to the livelihood of Laumeier’s woodlands. Contact Julia via e-mail or 314-615-5271 for more information and to sign-up. (Volunteer)
