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.\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\u2019s inventory. At the end of the session, you can choose how you\u2019d 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! 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!\n\nDay of Service Litter Cleanup, 4-6pm, Meet at the Diag Flag Pole in front of Hatcher Library.\nJoin SEAS Trash Club for an afternoon of litter clean-up in downtown Ann Arbor!
