- Volunteer Stewardship Workday -
Happy New Year to all our amazing Volunteer Stewards! Let's resolve to remove invasive plants and restore habitat in Michigan State Parks! See below for opportunities this month at Warren Dunes!

Warren Dunes State Park, 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Help keep our critical dunes free of invasive plants with Volunteer Steward Wayne G.! Volunteers will help remove common privet, Japanese barberry, non-native honeysuckle and other misfit plants from the nature trail before they spread to the high dunes. No experience is necessary, volunteers will be trained to identify target species.
