Invasive Plant Removal

Invasive Plant Removal.

Join Sheridan Neighborhood Organization and FMR to help maintain the river banks along the Mississippi at Sheridan Memorial Park. We will be learning about invasive species, how to identify them, how to remove them effectively and eventually planting native species to revitalize the landscape. We will meet at the Sheridan Veterans Memorial, 1300 Water Street Northeast Minneapolis, MN, 55413, on October 15th at 10 am, where you will learn about invasive species and then we will start the invasive plant removal. We will provide gloves, water and snacks. If you have any clippers, shovels or weeding tools please bring them.


The river is one of Sheridan’s greatest assets and something that we as a community can work together to preserve.

Please be sure to sign up!

SWOT Analysis

A SWOT analysis is a strategic planning and strategic management technique used to help a person or organization identify Strengths, Weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats related to business competition or project planning. It is sometimes called situational assessment or situational analysis.

Sheridan Neighborhood Organization has put together a SWOT Analysis to help layout the direction of the organization moving forward. The SWOT is a collection of ideas from a range of community members collected at Board Meetings and Community Programing Meetings throughout the Spring of 2022.

We look forward to the future of SNO and how we can better serve this community.

Lock and Dam Tour

Next week, join SNO, the Friends of the Mississippi River and Macalester College for a free walking tour of the locks and dams. The Army Corps of Engineers is beginning to consider their ownership of two dams (Lower St. Anthony Falls and Lock and Dam No. 1, known as the Ford dam) with the potential for dam removal, and they want to make sure that they engage with key stakeholders and community members to guide their approach to considering the future of these dams.  The possibility of dam removal opens up potential for new recreational opportunities and ecosystem restoration, and they want to ensure that as they engage with this process they include your perspectives.

We'll meet at the Wabun Picnic Area splash pad near the Ford Dam on August 10th at 5:30 pm.  The tour is 90 minutes long. There is limited space so please be sure to sign up!

Juneteenth 2022

Join the community in celebrating Juneteenth in 2022 at activities throughout the week of June 13!

Also known as Freedom Day or Emancipation Day, Juneteenth is one of two freedom celebrations held throughout the United States; the other is the Fourth of July.

It originated in 1865 and is the oldest known celebration commemorating the ending of slavery in the United States. It was on June 19 of that year that Major General Gordon Granger and his troops landed at Galveston, Texas, where they announced – and enforced – President Lincoln’s Emancipation Proclamation, which had officially taken effect two and a half years earlier. Find out more about the history and evolution of this celebration at Juneteenth.com.
