Volunteer for Nature at Foxfire West Nature Area

Register at: https://NAP.a2gov.org/A2FoxfireWest

Wilderness can be found in Ann Arbor! Explore and help restore Foxfire West Nature Area, one of the city's wild, off-trail spaces. Not wild as in uncultivated, feral as in untamed. Jokes aside, it takes a lot of work and expertise to keep urban green spaces in a “natural” state. Natural Area Preservation (NAP) staff know how to keep it wild and want to teach you the easy part - how to identify and remove invasive shrubs—and why your effort is so important. Meet at the corner of Hickory Point Dr. and Indian Creek Cir. 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).
