Join Woodbury residents for our annual community-wide volunteer trail clean-up of the Tamarack Nature Preserve, in honor of Earth Day 2022. This free, family-friendly, “no registration required” event is tailored to all ages, though children under 16 years of age must be accompanied by a responsible adult. It’s a great service opportunity for individuals, as well as scout troops, sports teams, church groups, civic groups or neighbors and friends. If the Preserve’s parking lot at 1825 Tower Drive is closed, you may park farther down the street, along Woodpark Blvd. where there are signs for the trail clean-up event.

Just pick a time that works for you, bring your own trash bags (ones that can be securely closed when filled), protective clothing (gloves, appropriate footwear, etc.) and your own reusable water bottle or coffee/tea mug for hydration. Then, choose an area of the Preserve to safely rid of trash.

If you're thinking about how to help the environment, this is a way to keep one of our region’s most pristine wetlands a healthy habitat for people and the plant and animal species that live here. On both Friday and Saturday morning from 9:00 - 11:00 (weather permitting), volunteer stewards of the Tamarack Nature Preserve will be on hand along Woodpark Blvd. to welcome you and answer questions. Otherwise, come when you can during daylight hours from Friday through Sunday, April 22-24. More information about the geology, boardwalks, woodland trails and the iNaturalist project can be found on this website. Stay safe, cherish nature and have fun! The City will provide trash pick-up at various signed locations near main access points to the Preserve.
