Volunteer for Nature at Sylvan Park

Register at: https://NAP.a2gov.org/A2Sylvan

Three hours of your weekend, plus five acres of oak-hickory forest, comes out to priceless ecological impact. How do the staff of Natural Area Preservation (NAP) know this? More than thirty years of experience managing Ann Arbor's natural areas with the help of volunteers and the community. So many of the natural spaces in Ann Arbor Parks are beautiful native habitat where flora flourish and fauna frolic. This is because thousands of volunteers come out for three hours at a time, remove invasive shrubs and perform other stewardship activities. Cut shrubs with NAP—you really can see the difference! Meet at the north end of Burton 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).
