Save to Favorites

ORGANIZATION: Washtenaw County Parks and Recreation Commission

  • A group opportunity. Invite your friends.
neighborhood nature

Learn, explore, and give back to nature in a friendly community setting. This winter, enjoy the warmth of community and warming exercise using loppers and saws to demolish invasive shrubs. Our work together makes a difference for birds, bees, and butterflies, while also beautifying Britton Woods by helping spring wildflowers and opening up views through the woods. Through this hands-on service-learning activity, you’ll get off-trail outdoor exercise and develop a sense of well-being in nature, all while building community with like-minded people. Led by Jonathan Parker. Snacks, gloves, and water provided (bring your own water bottle).

Youth volunteers welcome! Pre-registration required. Must be at least 14 years old. For ages 14-15, parent/guardian must volunteer with child. For ages 16-17, parent/guardian signed permission slip required.

For questions or cancellations, contact the volunteer coordinator, parks-volunteering@washtenaw.org.
