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! Marshall Nature Area — 3355 N. Dixboro Road true
