Stewardship Workday at Barton Nature Area

A tallgrass prairie with 6 foot tall big bluestem grass can be found along the railroad tracks at Barton Nature Area. Non-native species such as sweet clover are threatening the quality of this rare ecosystem. Lend a hand pulling these invasive plants to protect the native prairie species. Meet at the Barton Dam parking lot on Huron River Drive (map). Please wear long pants and closed-toe shoes. All participants must complete a release form, and all minors should be accompanied by a guardian. Tools, snacks, and know-how provided.
