State recreation officials today announced the schedule of volunteer stewardship workdays to be held in the month of March in southeast Michigan State Parks and Recreation Areas.
Volunteers are needed to cut and pile invasive shrubs to help restore the unique natural areas in these southeast Michigan parks. Volunteering for these workdays is a great way to "GO-Get Outdoors" and enjoy the fresh air and exercise.
Dates, times and locations of the workdays are as follows:
- Saturday, March 10, Bald Mountain Recreation Area (Oakland Co.), 9 a.m. to noon
- Saturday, March 17, Waterloo Recreation Area (Jackson Co.), 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Sunday, March 18, Pinckney Recreation Area (Washtenaw Co.), 1 to 4 p.m.
- Saturday, March 24, Brighton Recreation Area (Livingston Co.), 10 a.m. to 1 p.m.
- Sunday, March 25, Highland Recreation Area (Oakland Co.), 1 to 4 p.m.
Volunteers should bring appropriate clothing for outdoor work, including long pants, boots, gloves, eye protection and drinking water.
