    Description

    Volunteer for Nature at Olson Nature Area/National Cleanup Day

    Register at: https://nap.a2gov.org/A2Olson

    National Cleanup Day, in concert with the UN’s World Cleanup Day, sets out to engage community members in cleaning up waste like trash and litter – so NAP is expanding the definitions to include invasive plants! What could be more trashy than rapidly spreading shrubs that threaten the ecosystem? Join other community members to clean up natural habitat and help spread awareness of the need for clean and invasive-free natural areas. Meet at the entrance on Dhu Varren Rd, just east of Pontiac Trail. 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).
