Help restore native habitats and protect the clean waters of this scenic nature sanctuary by the Mississippi River, once part of the St. Anthony Falls.

As a volunteer, you will assist in creating spaces for native plants to thrive, removing invasive species, and cleaning up the shoreline and park slopes near limestone rocks, where waters once cascaded like they do at Minnehaha Falls. You’ll have the opportunity to rotate between various stewardship activities throughout the season.

EVENT DETAILS

• Date: July 28, 2026

• Time: 5:30 PM

• Location: Pillsbury A Mill Performance Hall

PROJECT OVERVIEW

Jeffrey Siegel and Gerri Summerville, representing 701 LLC, will present "Rowhouse Minneapolis." The proposal outlines a proposal to construct 9 side-by-side, 3-story homes on the corner of 2nd Ave. SE and 7th St. SE, designed by East Bank neighborhood creatives at SALA Architects.

The meeting presentation will address the fact that the subject site is currently too small for its existing zoning requirements. Because there is no adjacent opportunity to acquire additional property, 701 LLC is proposing an alternative use for this underutilized land. Once fully presented and with stakeholders surveyed, this project will move forward if supported by stakeholders and city planning, and if granted a subsequent comprehensive plan amendment.

NEXT STEPS AND INFORMATION
A complete listing of all project details, contact information, a dedicated project website, and informational flyers will be shared with the community during the week of July 5th.

Though we plant mostly perennials, some plants will need replacing. Rain Dates will be announced on the garden e-mail.

Regular monthly meeting of the East Bank Neighborhoods Partnership board of directors

Saturday, October 17, 2026, 10:30 am - Noon

Van Cleve Park | 901 15th Avenue SE

Agenda forthcoming

Help restore native habitats and protect the clean waters of this scenic nature sanctuary by the Mississippi River, once part of the St. Anthony Falls.

As a volunteer, you will assist in creating spaces for native plants to thrive, removing invasive species, and cleaning up the shoreline and park slopes near limestone rocks, where waters once cascaded like they do at Minnehaha Falls. You’ll have the opportunity to rotate between various stewardship activities throughout the season.

SIGN UP HERE

BEFORE YOU COME

Each volunteer MUST complete the following steps before participating:

1. Print and complete the EBNP Release and Waiver of Liability and Assumption of Risk Agreement. Bring this with you to the event.

• What to Bring: Please bring a water bottle and wear clothing appropriate for the weather (including rain gear, if necessary).

Long pants are recommended to protect your legs from brush, and a hat or hair restraint is suggested for those with long hair. Don't forget bug spray and sunscreen.

We meet at 21st Avenue SE and Talmage Avenue SE

Tools, gloves and snacks will be provided.  

All are Welcome! We leave stalks standing through the winter to provide shelter and sustenance to wildlife. Most of our native bees and butterflies winter underground or in stems. Birds eat the seeds. We wait to trim most stalks till the temperature is 50 degrees. Most planting is done at the end of May or early June. Though we plant mostly perennials, some plants will need replacing. Rain Dates will be announced on the garden e-mail.
