Containing excellent examples of the oak hickory forests that once dominated this area, Folkstone Park is a small 3-acre park in northeast Ann Arbor. Don’t let the weather FOOL you on this workday. Best to dress in layers as NAP and volunteers work together to pull invasive species. You may even see a few aquatic frogs newly out of hibernation in the small wetlands in the park. Meet at the park entrance at the north end of Folkstone Ct.
Pre-register through VolunteerHub so NAP can plan on enough staff and supplies for a safeand successful event. Tools and know-how provided! For your safety, wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes. All minors should be accompanied by a guardian. More information: How to prepare for a NAP workday (PDF).

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.
