Audubon MN Works on Coon Hill

Regulars to Coon Hill know buckthorn and other invasive species have been taking over the south side of the bluff. This winter, Audubon Minnesota will finish its project in removing many invasives, primarily on the southeast side of the hill.

Later this spring: LHRW, the school district, and the DNR will be working to add a new trail in this area so middle school students and residents in the Twin Bluff neighborhoods can easily access the bluff's expanding trail system.
