    Description

    Volunteer for Nature at Mary Beth Doyle Park/World Migratory Bird Day

    Register at: https://nap.a2gov.org/A2MaryBethDoyle

    Isn’t it wonderful that you don’t have to know a single thing about birds to enjoy them? Just their beautiful songs or graceful flight can brighten a dreary day. Birds – in particular migrating birds – depend on the diverse habitat at Mary Beth Doyle Park, and you can help keep it that way. Removing invasive shrubs with the staff of Natural Area Preservation (NAP) is straightforward and fun! World Migratory Bird Day is the perfect time to show your appreciation for our feathered friends who bring everyone joy. Meet at the parking lot at the end of Birch Hollow/Chelsea Circle (additional parking on Chelsea). 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).
