Highland Recreation Area , 1 p.m. to 4 p.m.
Want to help remove invasive shrubs from a high quality natural area? Then join us! We’ll be continuing our work within Haven Hill Natural Area to remove large common buckthorn and other non-native, invasive shrubs. We want to keep these shrubs from moving farther into this beautiful woodland.
Meet at the bike trailhead parking lot on the north side of Livingston Road between Duck Lake and Waterbury Roads.

Mission Statement
To preserve, protect and restore the natural and cultural resources present within Michigan State Parks for this and future generations.
Description
Volunteers will help steward natural areas (woodlands, wetlands, prairies, etc.) within Michigan state parks and recreation areas. These efforts will help protect entire ecosystems as well as individual species - especially those in greatest need of conservation ("Species of Special Concern" and those whose populations are "Threatened" or "Endangered").
Currently, Core Volunteer Stewards are volunteering at monthly volunteer workdays on weekends at 7 southeast Michigan parks and recreation areas. Volunteers do a variety of activities throughout the year including: removing invasive non-native plants, collecting seed from native plants, and planting native seedlings. Volunteers can also participate in a number of Individual Projects like Insect Monitoring, Photographic Monitoring and Invasive Plant Mapping - to name a few.
No previous experience is need to participate, though some training might be necessary for certain projects.
