Volunteer for Nature at Bird Hills Nature Area

Please register at: https://NAP.a2gov.org/A2BirdHills

Fresh air and giving back can set the stage for a great week. Turn your Sunday Scaries into Monday Mindfulness! Cut down some invasive shrubs with Natural Area Preservation (NAP) to work the tension and anxiety out, and invite the calming effects of nature in. Bird Hills is full of hilly bird habitat (and bat habitat, and insect habitat, and more!) where diverse natural communities contain towering trees and rare wildflower species. Staff will lead you along the unpaved trails and give you all the guidance you'll need to identify and remove the shrubs and offer insight into how your work helps keep Bird Hills thriving. Then go get some good rest and start your week off right! Meet at the Newport Rd parking lot entrance, just north of M-14. 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).
