Are you looking for a volunteer opportunity? Check out this great opportunity with Friends of the Missouri National Recreational River today!

Wait... we're asking volunteers to CUT DOWN trees? Isn't that a bad thing?
Not when they're invasive!
Eastern red cedars are spreading across Green Island, crowding out native plants and reducing habitat diversity. By removing these trees while they're still small saplings, volunteers can make a real difference in protecting this unique Missouri River habitat.
And there's more to this volunteer opportunity than cutting down trees!
