Join naturalist Faye Stoner to protect Independence Lake’s remarkable natural areas. As the season progresses, we’ll traverse prairie, woods, and a variety of wetlands, including sedge meadows, prairie fen, cattail marshes, and a buttonbush swamp. You’ll use loppers and saws to bust down shrubs and vines to protect these amazing natural spaces, while enjoying nature, fresh air, and exercise in a friendly community setting. Snacks, tools, and gloves provided (bring your own water bottle).
Youth volunteers welcome! Pre-registration required. Must be at least 14 years old. For ages 14-15, parent/guardian must volunteer with child. For ages 16-17, parent/guardian signed permission slip required.
For questions or cancellations, contact the volunteer coordinator, parks-volunteering@washtenaw.org.
