Michigan DNR announces they are seeking volunteers for a stewardship workday to help locate and cut non-native, invasive shrubs in Michigan State Parks that threaten to crowd out native plants and disrupt balance in high-quality ecosystems. The next Workday will be Sunday, Feb. 24 at Warren Dunes State Park (Berrien County), 1 to 4 p.m. Workdays are an enjoyable way to spend time outdoors while restoring Michigan’s ecosystems and learning about its inhabitants.
According to a press release, workday details (including meeting locations, the stewardship volunteer registration form and links to individual park maps and directions) are available on the DNR website. Volunteers should bring insulated, leather work gloves, drinking water and appropriate clothing for outdoor work, including long pants and sturdy, closed-toe shoes.
Volunteers should register either by online form or via email.
