FOUNDATION VOLUNTEERS REMOVED NEARLY 1,400 POUNDS OF TRASH FROM ENTERING THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER DURING THEIR BI-ANNUAL RIVERFRONT CLEANUPS. IN 2023, THE FOUNDATION ALSO INTRODUCED A NEW VOLUNTEER POSITION THAT HELPS EDUCATE VISITORS ABOUT THE NATIVE PLANTS THAT ARE IN BLOOM ON THE GROUNDS BY SHARING RESEARCH AND INFORMATION ABOUT THE FEATURED PLANT SPECIES.

THIS WAS POSSIBLE DUE TO A PARTNERSHIP WITH THE NATIONAL PARK SERVICE AND A LOCAL COMMUNITY ORGANIZATION, ST. LOUIS ARTWORKS, WHICH PROVIDES ST. LOUIS STUDENTS WITH ART EDUCATION, JOB SKILL TRAINING, AND EXPOSURE TO CAREER OPPORTUNITIES THROUGH PAID APPRENTICESHIPS.
