Leslie Woods is perhaps one of the nicest parks Ann Arbor has to offer, and it has been so for a
very long time. The diversity of plant species here suggests that this site has remained
undisturbed by farming or grazing, but now it’s being threatened by invasive species! Join us to
keep this park safe from harm at our volunteer stewardship workday. We will cut invasive shrubs
in the area, allowing for the great plant diversity to thrive and grow. Pre-registration through
Rec-1 is required as space is limited. Participants must wear a mask and maintain a 6-ft distance
from others at all times. Please wear long pants, closed-toed shoes, and leather work gloves. All
minors should be accompanied by a guardian. Tools and know-how provided. Meeting location
will be provided after registration.

About Natural Area Preservation
Location:
City of Ann Arbor Parks, Ann Arbor, MI 48105, US
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.
