Love a Park Day at Fuller Park - 4-6pm, Fuller Park - Ann Arbor Parks Volunteer Office
Join U-M Health and show some love for Fuller Park! A 60-acre recreation area near the University of Michigan medical campus with a pool, trails leading to Cedar Bend Nature Area and Island Park, and the Border to Border Trail running through it. We'll be focusing on light maintenance and general beautification tasks to help keep the park looking great for all who visit. Specific projects will be determined based on park needs at the time, but may include activities like litter pickup, garden care, mulching, or invasive shrub removal. Some tasks may involve bending, lifting, or being in full sun, and work areas may have uneven terrain or minor tripping hazards.
Take Action at the Arb! - 2-4pm, Reader Center at Nichols Arboretum:
Join Nichols Arboretum for an EcoWorkday to celebrate Climate Week! This event focuses on invasive plant removal and strengthening ecosystems at Nichols Arboretum. Perfect for groups, individuals, and pairs. Some tasks may involve bending, lifting, or being in full sun, and work areas may have uneven terrain or minor tripping hazards.
Bird Collision Inventory and Seed Library Projects - 3:00-4:30pm, Pierpont Commons - Boulevard Room:
Bird Collision Info Session 3-3:30pm: U-M is launching a seasonal inventory to track bird collisions on campus and use the resulting data to inform updated building design standards and identify high-priority buildings for “bird safe design” retrofits. This 30-minute info session will provide training for volunteers to participate in this year’s inventory. At the end of the session, you can choose how you’d like to get involved with the project.
Seed Library Project 3:30-4:30pm: Following the bird collision info session, stay or drop in to help the U-M Seed Library package up some Thimbleweed! Thimbleweed attracts native bees among other local fauna, so you'll be supporting a whole native ecosystem by scooping a few seeds into capsules and filling our candy ball dispenser with them. These seeds will be shared with local university community members at their upcoming Roots & Resilience event. Thanks for helping us support the local native plant and pollinators community!
Day of Service Litter Cleanup, 4-6pm, Meet at the Diag Flag Pole in front of Hatcher Library.
Join SEAS Trash Club for an afternoon of litter clean-up in downtown Ann Arbor! All supplies will be provided. We’ll meet at 4:00 p.m. at the Diag flag pole, then split up to pick up trash around the nearby streets and sidewalks of Ann Arbor. This project will be outdoors and will involve bending to pick up litter.
