    Join the DNR and Belle Isle Conservancy for stewardship Saturdays. Our summer projects will include cutting invasive, non-native shrubs and stump treating them with herbicide to restore the wet mesic flatwoods. We will focus on scattered shrubs throughout the woodland. The site may be wet or muddy so please bring appropriate footwear or wear old shoes and clothes you don’t mind getting dirty. Meet on Woodside Drive near Lakeside Drive and Central Avenue. GPS coordinates: 42.3446 -82.9614

    Join in to help remove spotted knapweed from these beautiful open dunes!   This invasive pest grows in open sun and sandy soils and has its sights set on our dunes!   You can help protect the dunes by preventing the spread of spotted knapweed.  We’ll have gloves to lend but you are welcome to bring your own favorite pair.  Please also wear long sleeves and pants to protect your skin.  We’ll be working in the open sun so please also plan to bring a hat and plenty of water.  Meet at the first beach parking area south of the entrance booth.  GPS coordinates: 43.23663, -86.34196.

    Enjoy a beautiful summer day at this nice reclaimed site!  Volunteers will hand pull spotted knapweed and Canada thistle from the open areas allowing native flora to grow and thrive with Volunteer Steward Wayne G.!  Please wear long sleeves and long pants as some may be sensitive to vegetation.   Please also plan to bring a pair of gardening gloves (we’ll have some to loan as well).  We’ll be working in the open sun so please also plan to bring a hat and plenty of water.  Meet at the end of Willow Rd.  From the main park entrance continue south on Thornton Dr. Turn right on Willow. GPS coordinates: 41.985645, -86.553083.
