For The Environment

CSA projects at Little Creve Coeur Ecological Area will include:

• Invasive species management - Whether it be bush Garlic mustard, bush honeysuckle, Callary pear, or non-native thistles, battling invasive species is a constant, ongoing challenge in our parks and public spaces. If you're interested in protecting our natural communities and the animals that rely on them, consider joining us for one of our invasive species removal projects at the ecological area. 

For The Community

CSA projects at Little Creve Coeur Ecological Area include:

• Community members and volunteers by helping to create lasting relationships that empower local friends and neighbors while bringing people together who value this community treasure and want to see it sustained and thrive.
• Park & trail users by improving the landscapes and beautifying the park for everyone who enjoys these outdoor spaces for recreation.
