Volunteer for Nature at Dhu Varren Nature Area

Register at: https://nap.a2gov.org/A2DhuVarren

What has big smelly leaves, “perfect” flowers, sprawling suckers, and can be found at Dhu Varren? Find out when you join NAP for some shady September stewardship! A native understory plant, it is often found in moist, deep, rich soils like those at Dhu Varren. Invasive plants threaten the habitat of this distant relative to one of the oldest flowering plants in North America, that also can produce some delicious fruit. Help support this curious “dog-eared” plant (and other native plants and animals) by removing invasive shrubs.  Meet at the intersection of Birchwood Dr. and Dhu Varren Rd. 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).
