Cut down invasive shrubs with the knowledgeable staff of Natural Area Preservation (NAP) - it’s not terribly hard, and even kids can participate! You’ve probably traveled passed Miller Nature Area while driving on the west side of Ann Arbor. Logging, farming, gravel extraction, and dumping are some of the historical activities that volunteers have the power to help remedy in celebration of World Habitat Day. Healthy habitat means biodiversity and in turn, a healthy local ecosystem. Meet at the Arborview Blvd entrance , just east of Wildwood Ave. V olunteers will use hand tools to cut small-to-medium shrubs. Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail.
Preregister through VolunteerHub so NAP can plan on enough staff and supplies for a safe and successful event. 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).

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
Volunteers assist NAP in all aspects of our work, and are vital to NAP's efforts. NAP projects take volunteers well beyond the realm of litter clean-up into working to ​restore and care for natural areas. Through hands-on tasks and scientific knowledge, we encourage a connection between volunteers and their surrounding natural environment. Volunteers play a key role in fostering an environmental ethic in the community. To learn more, visit A2gov.org/NAP
