Want to get involved in taking care of Michigan’s natural and cultural resources?
Here are some opportunities coming up in February.
Several state parks in southern Michigan will host stewardship workdays, where volunteers are needed to help restore natural areas by removing invasive plants that threaten high-quality ecosystems.
Workdays will take place at:
- Island Lake Recreation Area, Feb. 5.
- Waterloo Recreation Area, Feb. 12.
- Pinckney Recreation Area, Feb. 25.
More details about each workday and how to register can be found on the DNR volunteer events calendar.
You can help scientists better understand and protect birds around the world – while spending time birdwatching in your favorite places – by taking part in the global Great Backyard Bird Count, Feb. 17-20.
Count birds in your backyard, a local park or wherever you spot them, and submit your observations.
