Friends of Belleview Honeysuckle Hack

Open Space Council STL and Friends of Belleview invite you to our Holiday Honeysuckle Hack at

Belleview Farm Park, 1333 Belleview Farm Rd., Ballwin, MO 63021

This 100-acre park was donated to St. Louis County Parks by environmentalist Harold Donnelly, a founding board member of the Open Space Council, to carry on the mission and legacy of both Donelly and OSC by preserving open space for public use, nature and wildlife. This park is a work in progress with panoramic views of the Meramec River Valley, 5 acres of prairie restoration and 20 acres of woodland restoration in process, two springs, and a vernal pond. Friends of Belleview has partnered with the City of Wildwood to restore the park and open it to the public.

Volunteers will be treated to an educational introduction of the park with one of Friends of Belleview’s Master Naturalists, followed by our workday. There is no running water or electricity. Bring water and dress in layers.  Tools and gloves will be provided, but please bring your own if you have them. There is a porta-potty on site.  Holiday cookies and hot water for tea and hot chocolate will be provided. All volunteers will be asked to sign waivers from the City of Wildwood and Friends of Belleview.
