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.\n\nTake Action at the Arb! - 2-4pm\, Reader Center at Nichols Arboretum:\nJoin 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.

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. \nSeed 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!
