    Description

    Volunteer for Nature at Stapp Nature Area

    Register at: https://NAP.a2gov.org/A2Stapp

    In just one afternoon, you can change the landscape for native pollinators, migrating birds, and all the creatures who depend on the Huron River watershed! Stapp Nature Area is a beautiful place to match a fraction of the enjoyment and peace you receive from nature with a little bit of effort to support native habitat. Cutting invasive shrubs with Natural Area Preservation (NAP) is straightforward and rewarding—and staff will be with you every step of the way to help identify the right shrubs, how to use the tools effectively, and explain the significance of your work. Meet at the park entrance on Traverwood Dr., south of the library. Volunteers will use hand tools to cut small-to-medium shrubs. Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail.

    Preregister through VolunteerHub so NAP can plan on enough staff and supplies for a safe and successful event. For your safety, wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes. All minors should be accompanied by a guardian. More information: How to prepare for a NAP workday (PDF).
