Explore this hidden gem - a floodplain forest along the Huron River right near downtown tucked between soccer fields and Island Park. The many water-loving plants here help mitigate flooding downstream. Much restoration work has been done recently to help this natural ecosystem flourish, and you can help continue that effort by removing invasive shrubs and giving native plants a chance. You may even get to meet the resident fisherman - he's quiet but very focused! Meet at the Island Park parking lot, at the end of Island Dr. Volunteers will use hand tools to cut small-to-medium shrubs. Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail.
