Volunteer Opportunities
Wakáŋ Tipi Park Stewards
If you or a group regularly visit Wakáƞ Tipi, consider becoming a park steward! Park Stewards work with the City of St. Paul to support general maintenance of the sanctuary, such as picking up visible trash and reporting graffiti, tree damage, or other park concerns.
*This volunteer need is met - check back in next season!
Restore! Participant
Join us in caring for the lands, waters, plants, and animal relatives of Wakáƞ Tipi by lending a helping hand at our habitat restoration events. Each spring, summer, and fall you can take part in various activities to limit the spread of displaced plant relatives (invasive species) and encourage the growth of Native plants that are close to the hearts of Dakota people.
2024 Restore! dates and registration will be posted in the spring!
