Restoring Alimagnet Lake

Volunteers are needed!

Alimagnet Park Stacking and Seeding! September 27th

Alimagnet is an 85-acre park that features old growth oak and basswood trees along the shores of Alimagnet Lake in Apple Valley. The hilly terrain of this site was historically grazed, which allowed for a thriving savanna. Large populations of woodland wildflowers existed here until woody overgrowth and buckthorn overtook the park. Volunteers will drag and stack precut trees and seed cleared areas in an attempt to rejuvenate wildflower populations.

This project is made possible with support from the City of Apple Valley and the Minnesota Outdoor Heritage Fund.
