Restore and Roam
Join us in the beautiful prairie at Katharine Ordway Natural History Study Area (Ordway Field Station) for an afternoon of service and snowshoeing (or hiking) fun! In partnership with Macalester College, we need help restoring the rich prairie at the site by removing encroaching woody plants. The afternoon will include an optional naturalist-led hike by Macalester College staff to explore the prairie, different woodland habitats, and the river!
This event would be great for adults and kids over 12 years old. No experience is needed.
Parking is VERY limited at the site, so please carpool!
The Sacred Water Shared Future campaign is powered by you! The heart of this centennial celebration is the incredible variety of events planned and hosted by our partners — community groups, nonprofits, businesses, schools, and individuals who feel a connection to the Mississippi River.
We do not host events ourselves; instead, we serve as a central hub for river-focused activities happening across the Twin Cities throughout 2026.
