The Huron River is one of the most beloved natural features in our city and supports many unique plant communities along its banks. Help us support the health of the river by meeting us at Barton Nature Area to remove invasive shrubs from one of these beautiful, riverside meadows! You’ll also see the city’s working hydroelectric dam, Barton Dam. Pre-registration through Rec-1 is required as space is limited. Participants must wear a mask and maintain a 6-ft distance from others at all times. Please wear long pants, closed-toed shoes, and leather work gloves. All minors should be accompanied by a guardian. Tools and know-how provided. Meeting location will be provided after registration.

Inclement Weather Plan: We will still host the event if it’s raining, but we won’t work if there is thunder and/or lightening, or other dangerous conditions. It is unlikely that we will cancel the event altogether because often our thunderstorms are pretty quickly passing events. What usually happens is that we delay the start, take a break if it comes through mid-event, or end early if there are storms approaching towards the end of the event. Our workday leader will be keeping an eye on the weather throughout the event and support staff will be watching the radar remotely. If we do make a decision about delaying or cancelling prior to the event, someone will call you and follow up with an email. Otherwise, plan to join at the usual time and our workday leader will give you directions based on the evolving conditions.
