Gallup Park is one of Ann Arbor’s most popular recreation areas, and also contains a high quality sedge meadow. The meadow is rich with special native grasses, sedges, and wildflowers that are adapted to living in wet soils. We’ll take advantage of the frozen ground to get in and remove invasive woody shrubs that crowd out native species. From Gallup’s main entrance, drive across the wooden bridge, meet in the first lot after the bridge.

Mission Statement
Natural Area Preservation (NAP) works to protect and restore Ann Arbor's natural areas and to foster an environmental ethic among its citizens. This involves conducting plant and animal inventories, ecological monitoring, and stewardship projects in Ann Arbor parks. These tasks are performed by both staff and volunteers.
Description
One third of NAP's field work is done by volunteers, so community involvement is vital to the success of its conservation efforts. NAP projects take volunteers well beyond the realm of litter clean-up into broader areas of concern, such as maintaining biodiversity and restoring damaged ecosystems. Through the combination of hands-on involvement and scientific understanding, NAP hopes to encourage and support a connection between individual volunteers and their surrounding natural environment. By sharing this experience with friends and neighbors, volunteers play a crucial role in fostering an environmental ethic in the community.
