Agency: Natural Resources


Jan. 26, 2010

The Department of Natural Resources and Environment today announced the schedule of volunteer stewardship workdays to be held in February at various southeastern Michigan state parks and recreation areas.

Volunteers are needed to cut invasive shrubs in natural areas within state parks and recreation areas. This activity will help protect and restore the unique natural areas in these southeast Michigan state parks. Volunteering for these workdays is a great way to "GO-Get Outdoors," breathe some fresh air, avoid cabin fever, and be active in the outdoors.

Dates, times and locations of the workdays are as follows:

    Saturday, Feb. 6, Island Lake Recreation Area
    (Livingston Co.), 1 to 4 p.m.

    Saturday, Feb. 13, Bald Mountain Recreation Area
    (Oakland Co.), 9 a.m. to noon

    Sunday, Feb. 14, Algonac State Park
    (St. Clair Co.), 1 to 4 p.m.

    Saturday, Feb. 20, Highland Recreation Area
    (Oakland Co.), 9 a.m. to 3 p.m.

    Saturday, Feb. 20, Waterloo Recreation Area
    (Washtenaw Co.), 1 to 4 p.m.

    Sunday, Feb. 21, Pinckney Recreation Area
    (Washtenaw Co.), 1 to 4 p.m.

    Saturday, Feb. 27, Highland Recreation Area
    (Oakland Co.), 1 to 4 p.m.

    Sunday, Feb. 28, Brighton Recreation Area
    (Livingston Co.), 1 to 4 p.m.

Volunteers should bring appropriate clothing for working outdoors in the winter, including long pants, multiple layers, boots, gloves and drinking water.
