One of the newest city nature areas in Ann Arbor, Hickory is ready for help from volunteers like you. Many native tree species call Hickory home like – you guessed it – hickories! Also you’ll find oaks, ironwood, and hackberry trees along with trillium and prickly gooseberry. Spend your Friday afternoon helping remove invasive shrubs that divert sunlight, water, air, and nutrients away from the native plants and their wildlife friends. Meet at the park entrance on Dillon Dr. Volunteers will use hand tools to cut small-to-medium shrubs. 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).
