One of Ann Arbor’s most beloved natural aeras – and the largest of Ann Arbor’s parks – Bird Hills can give you that feeling of being immersed in nature. Named for the Bird family (but one could hardly be blamed for thinking it’s because of the many, many amazing bird species that can be found here) this hilly park overlooks the oxbow of the Huron River. Spend a shady Sunday removing invasive plants alongside other volunteers.
Meet at the entrance on Bird Road, west of Huron River Drive (add'l parking in Barton Nature Area-Dam Entrance). Depending on weather and site conditions, volunteers will pull weeds from the ground by hand or cut shrubs using hand tools. 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).
