Northern Plains Botanic Garden Society received a $6,405 match grant to partially fund their project: Fostering Garden Usability & Accessibility. The project provided path construction to improve access to the Children’s Garden and Edible Forest and better meet ADA requirements. In addition, a structure was installed at the south end of the Edible Forest providing a shaded place to rest as well as serving as a trellis for plants. A handicap-accessible picnic table was installed to ensure the space is widely usable.

Reforest the Red

Description

 

Join us on September 18 from 12:00 to 7:00 pm at North River Grassland in Fargo for Reforest the Red, a community tree and shrub planting event aimed at improving the health and stability of the Red River. By strategically planting trees along the riverbank, we can create a natural buffer that prevents soil erosion, encourages the growth of native plants, enhances water quality, and provides essential habitat for wildlife.

Volunteers will participate in various tasks, including digging holes, planting trees and shrubs, mulching, watering, and potentially staking the new plants. This effort not only supports the natural regeneration of trees along the Red River—an area where development and cultural practices have hindered natural growth—but also helps reduce air pollution, cool the atmosphere, and ease the severity of floods.

Short training sessions will be held throughout the event to ensure volunteers are prepared for their roles. This project is a collaborative effort between River Keepers, Fargo Park District, the City of Fargo, and the Cass County Soil Conservation District.

We need your help to make this project a success! Join us in planting trees and shrubs to protect and enhance the Red River for future generations.

Parking, Security and Medical Plans

As the Event Organizer, it is important that you plan for safe arrival, departure, and parking of the event attendees, participants, and vendors. Please keep in mind that the Fargo Park District prohibits all vehicles from parking on the grass. The Fargo Park District staff does monitor and ticket illegally parked vehicles at the events. As the Event Organizer, you are responsible for informing all participants, volunteers, attendees, and vendors of the parking regulations.

Park Hours and Event Set-up and Takedown

Submitted by mbrush on Tue, 11/10/2020 - 16:12

Fargo Park District Facilities are available between 7:00 am and 10:00 pm. The Park hours are established by the Fargo Park Board of Commissioners and regulated in accordance with the Park ordinances or regulations. What this means for your special event is that all set up and clean up of the event must be completed entirely between these hours. If that is not possible, you must have made prior arrangements and rented the park and/or park shelter for the appropriate hours, as well. Requests for extended hours will require administrative review.
