The Department of Natural Resources is seeking volunteers to cut and pile invasive shrubs and collect seed from native prairie plants - activities that will help protect and restore unique natural areas in the state parks. Volunteering for these workdays is a great way for residents to Go Get Outdoors, enjoy the cool, crisp fall air and learn something new.
Volunteers should wear appropriate clothing for outdoor work (including long pants and sturdy closed-toed shoes) and bring gloves and drinking water. For information about the activities at each workday, directions or park information, or to check the Volunteer Steward calendar of events, visit the DNR website at www.michigan.gov/dnrvolunteers, and select the Calendar of Volunteer Stewardship Workdays.
