Yale Day of Service: MI, Ann Arbor - Eco-Restoration Workday
Yale Day of Service joins the Cal Alumni Club of SE Michigan (Motor City Bears) for an environmental restoration project to meet and reconnect with alumni who share our commitment to giving back. Families with children are welcome!
Volunteers will pull non-native plants from the ground by hand to make room for a thriving ecosystem. There will be an orientation, training, snack break, and the morning will conclude with an educational nature walk.
Further background: Migratory birds depend on insects for energy during the breeding season and on their long journeys. Natural areas that migratory birds have depended on for mid-journey food are being transformed into agriculture, housing developments, and even parking lots. This #MigratoryBirdDay, we can help give migratory birds a chance to complete their cross-continent expedition by supporting insect habitat.
Logistics: Meet at the parking lot off Dixboro Rd. (additional parking on Church St, across Dixboro). Workday sites have unpaved trails and require going off-trail. For your safety, wear long pants, tall socks, and closed-toe shoes. All minors should be accompanied by a guardian.
Please preregister through the VolunteerHub link so that our partner, Natural Area Preservation, can plan on enough staff and supplies for a safe and successful event!
