Stapp Nature Area
Stapp Nature Area is one of our more pristine natural areas, with native plants composing nearly eighty percent of the total flora. The park's mature oak-hickory forest is home to deer and several cavity-dwelling birds species, while a vernal pool draws frogs, toads, and salamanders. Volunteers and NAP staff have worked hard throughout the years to maintain the high environmental quality of this park, but invasive shrubs are threatening to undo these efforts! Join us to cut back invasive honeysuckle and buckthorn to make room for our native plants to flourish. Meet at the park sign at the corner of Huron Parkway and Tuebingen Parkway. Please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. Every participant must complete a release form, and all minors should be accompanied by a guardian. Tools, snacks, and know-how provided.
