Among the many animals and plants that have been spotted at Lakewood is the Cooper’s Hawk, an agile woodland raptor. Cooper’s Hawks hunt for their food by flying fast along the ground and then popping up over an obstruction to surprise their prey on the other side. They have even been known to pursue prey on foot! Lakewood has a lot of food to offer these fascinating birds, so join us to remove invasive exotic shrubs that threaten the habitat depended-upon by Cooper’s Hawks and other native species. Meet us at the park entrance on Sunnywood Dr.

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.
