Native plant welcome gardens will be the first thing that people see when visiting the Grand River Conservation Campus, Bissell Nature Center, and Kitty Todd Preserve.

This position requires volunteers to stoop, kneel, and get dirty while removing weeds from the gardens and transplanting native plants between beds.

· Who would you report to: Angela Burke and/or regional preserve staff or lead Staff Volunteer

· Training required: Native Plant identification and gardening skills including invasive/weedy plant ID/removal. Perfect for any Certified Naturalist or Master gardener.
