- Volunteer Stewardship Workday -

Enjoy the outdoors by joining a volunteer stewardship project! No experience is necessary and all equipment and instruction are provided. Workdays always start with an overview of the project, local ecology and invasive species-removal techniques.

Highland Recreation Area: Saturday, June 1, 10 a.m. - 1 p.m.

Meet at the bike trailhead parking lot on the north side of Livingston Road between Duck Lake and Waterbury roads.

Help us remove garlic mustard that threatens to take over the high-quality forest in Haven Hill Natural Area. We will be covering a lot of ground, so come prepared for a hike.

To register or learn more, contact Emily Leslie at LeslieE1@Michigan.gov.
