Weekday Stewardship Workday at Furstenberg Nature Area

Register at:  https://nap.a2gov.org/A2Furstenberg

Why not spend this Friday afternoon at Furstenberg, a lovely and diverse natural area along the Huron River?  The 38 acres here offer wetland, woodland, prairie, and oak savanna natural communities. Being so close to the river, any work done to improve the natural environment here will have a lasting impact on the watershed and the wildlife and residents who depend on it. Native plants are powerhouses of filtration and flood mitigation – volunteers can help them thrive by removing invasive weeds from the ground by hand.

Meet at the parking lot off Fuller Rd. Volunteers will pull herbaceous weeds from the ground by hand. 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).
