Natural Area Preservation Stewardship Workday
Join is to help make a difference in the Ann Arbor parks! Participants must wear a mask and maintain at least 6 feet of physical distance from others at all times.

Compost bags and know-how provided. Meeting location will be provided after registration.

Saturday, Aug. 8
9 a.m.-noon, Kuebler Langford Nature Area. In the 1970s, Kuebler Langford was used as a staging area during the construction of M-14. Now this property is a wooded ravine with an expansive prairie. Heavy construction equipment disturbed the soil and made it easier for invasive plants to take over. Help us remove these aggressive plants and restore this incredible prairie! Please pregister online.

1-4 p.m., Bird Hills Nature Area. About 10,000 years ago, the Wisconsin Glacier advanced and retreated, creating lots of hills and depressions throughout Ann Arbor. Bird Hills Nature Area is a great example of the impact glaciers have on topography. Explore the dramatic landscape of this park while removing invasive plants from the woods. Please preregister online.
